I spent the first 18 years of my life in Marion, IL. Spent the last 21 traveling the globe in the Air Force.

I can see myself going back to Southern Illinois someday within the next few years. I could be near family and lakes and cliffs and the Shawnee Forest. I miss them all.

I live just south of Decatur and work in Decatur. I consider that central IL, but when I lived in the Joliet area, they referred to anything south of I-80 as "Southern IL"

Yep! I grew up in Ottawa (right on I-80), and was very surprised to learn (when I attended NIU in DeKalb) that I was from "downstate"!
