     Even though I'm stuck in IL (for now) at least I don't have to deal with the crook county shit, so there's hope of escape.
     
     Unfortunately I still have to deal with St. Louis' bullshit while paying IL taxes.

     The city was cool between like 2009 and 2012-ish though.
     I wish knew where to move to that has a similar set-up/feel to it.
