#1 I wonder why? Must be all those gun shows and gun stores! Right?

#2 Jobs and industry have been leaving the state for over 50 years. Not unlike elsewhere, small family farms are rapidly disappearing in favour of large corporate entities. I believe I recently read where Illinois now leads the nation in people relocating elsewhere. Strangely, or possibly not so, with the exception of Chicago, and the University towns, the entire state is Red. Like LA and NYC, the Blue mega 'city states' rule. It's all in the numbers and demographics.

#4 I used to think Detroit was a good place to be from. Now it seems Chicago is about to take that honor.

#5 '795'

We figured 20 more than that for EOY in our office last July.

It has been a colder than normal December, though. Here's an instance where 'climate change' has had a positive effect for the folks in Chicago.
