illiopolis 

Illiopolis, the center of it all, is somewhere between Decatur, Springfield, Lincoln and Taylorville. When traveling in this area, you may accidentally stumble upon this small town with a big heart.

Founded in 1856 by the Wilson family, Illiopolis has been home to many well known businesses throughout the years including, but not limited to: Alpo's Red Dog, Jukebox Junction, The Gentleman's Quarters, Habits and Vices and Stewart's Amoco.

Decatur hood rats will no doubt remember Illiopolis for it's 3am bar as they packed in their vehicles drunk as skunks and geeked out on horse tranquilizers to get that final hour of drinking and dancing in at Jukebox Junction. The $10 cover, metal detectors and $6 beers didn't prevent as many stabbings and shootings as you would think.

Illiopolis was once a major hub on the 36 route between Decatur and Springfield but Interstate 72 fucked that up. Now you just bypass the shitty town and maybe notice the catholic church steeple or stupid ass blue water tower. (Should have been painted red and black in memory of the great Illiopolis Pirates of yesteryear)

Today, you will find some random meth heads milling around. The town finally got a Dollar General in 2019. Still does not have a Casey's.

The current mayor is blind and the town has no cops so pretty much anything and everyrhing goes in Illiopolis.

Illiopolis is a small town in Central Illinois.
