My little burg in east central IL is an oasis in the Great Corn/Bean desert.<br><br>Excellent soil, good farmer's market, relatively low cost of living/housing prices, hopping music scene, low-powered FM radio station in addition to all the mainstream stuff, v active Indymedia center, good public transit, bike-friendly, excellent small-but-rising food cooperative, etc. The winters aren't too terrible, almost everything grows here, and there's lots of knowledge-sharing going on.<br><br>It wants to be Madison, Jr. It's a ways off, but it's coming along. We've been here 10 years and it's changed in many positive ways. If I left to go anywhere, it'd be overseas... <p></p><i></i>
