Obviously, there are couples of negative things you can say about Illinois. You cannot say these judgments if you have not spent years living there, because these observations will come from a person who had seen everything that he must notice. But despite every negative thing you see in this city, you are still there. I don't know if you ran out of choice, or you love these flaws. But whatever the reason is, I am happy to know that you learned a lot from the city.
