Never thought Id miss louisiana, from illinois

[Let It Fall]

I just returned home from working in illinois for 1 month. But gotta fly back tuesday for another two months..

No wonder you northerners are known for being grumpy, the weather there is miserable! I love cold temperatures, but that place is the windiest dampest darkest place I ever been.

Granted I stayed in south illinois. I did not see the sun ONE time!! Its has been cloudy the whole time I was there, raining slightly 3 times a week, not enough to get sent home just enough to make you wet. And I swear the wind blows at your face from every direction.

I was getting some serious depression probably from the lack of sunlight.

I saw more rednecks up there than I see down here! Everybody drives a brand new lifted diesel f-250 dodge or chevy 2500. Any vehicle older than 10 years has been annihilated by rust. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A CAR BODY RUST!

There are absolutely NO HOUSES that seem like they were built after 1980's

And do you guys have a 70MPH speedlimit ANYWHERE? Every interstate was 65MPH..


GOD I TAKE BACK EVERYTHING BAD I SAID ABOUT LOUISIANA!

SERIOUSLY HOW DO YOU GUYS PUT UP WITH IT?

Ca has a 65MPH speedlimit on most of our highways, but that doesnt stop people from driving 80.

YUP, my friend sped the whole way home. we got pulled over twice 75 in a 55 and 85 in a 65 but he just pulled out his deputy badge and got away with warnings. Stupid cops.

Yeah, it totally sucks. But I'm used to it and make do. The area I'm in is a little better than what Illinois had.

I've grown up here, so when I go somewhere else, it's a paradise it seems like. I love it here though. Very homey feel everywhere I go, and everyone knows everyone.

I'm a native Southerner who has ended up spending his professional life in the Midwest, except for a few years SW Kentucky (which ain't all that Southern when it comes to the weather!)

I'm pretty used to it now, but it is always a pleasure to come home in the Spring or Fall, and enjoy that good weather compared to the cold that kicks in so quickly.

BTW, I live in Southern Illinois too, in the Metro East (Greater St. Louis area.)

I went from Atlanta to Champaign, man it is flat here.
