Midwest People Are The Friendliest in America

Illinois resident checking in here.

I hate that all of Illinois gets labeled as liberals.

It's only Chicago and a few suburbs, but politicians there are so ridiculously crooked.

Get outside a 50 mile radius of Chicago and most people in Illinois and the Midwest for that matter are the best people in the country. We are the type of neighbors anyone would love to have.

We help each other out on a whim. Midwest people are the kind of people that a random Saturday night party could break out in a driveway.

If you're grilling out, you happily wave your neighbors over and throw more meat on the grill and offer a beer.

You're out snow blowing your driveway, you hit your neighbors too just on principal.

I've lived on both the East Coast and the West Coast and I can tell you, there is no better place than in the Midwest.
