Sounds a lot like Chicago compared to the rest of Illinois. Here in
Chicago, anything not actually in Chicago or it's suburbs is referred to
as "Southern Illinois". Gets a bit confusuing, as driving the entire
length of Illinois from Chicago (in the NE corner) to the southern tip
can be a 7 or 8 hour drive on the freeway... It's quite a lot of
farmland down there!
