Illinois

Originally from Moline, grew up in Park Forest. Now live in Atlanta.
Im from Monee about 7 miles from Park Forest. My wife's family still in Park Forest. NOT what it was in the 70s and early 80s. I used to work at the Sears Auto Center there, '87-90. then went to work for a while at South Oak Dodge. Now live in Kankakee County out west of Kankakee. (been in this house since 98) and work as a mechanic for this miserable state.
I told my wife 30 years ago when we were still boyfriend/girlfriend that I would never live in Crook County.
BTW I'm about 18 mi from Wilmington, heard that one mentioned pages back, used to work in Joliet.
I know this is old thread, any of you still around?
