Illinois is one of my favorite states for the following reasons:
- Chicago - a world class American city, great food, architecture and people
- Deep dish - not an everyday pizza, but damn good on occasion
- John Hughes - did he ever make a bad movie?
- Al Capones steak house - one of the greatest, weird nights of my life was driving out in the middle of nowhere to eat a mediocre steak dinner at a house Capone once used as a bootleg base
- Halloween - Best horror movie ever, set in the fictional(?) town of Haddonfield, scared the bejesus out of me as a kid and I think Halloween 2 was probably scarier
- 2nd City comedy - spent many late nights that started at the birthplace of SNL
- I love “the Illini” as a nickname
