Brookfield, IL - We have trains.... we have Brookfield Zoo (best zoo I know of)... and a great little italian Trattoria (10 table restaurant) called Trattoria Gemelli with hand made pasta and a great owner.

And I think we are know as 'tree city IL' or something similar. Google it if you care.

I dated a girl from Tampico, IL once. Ya'll sure do talk funny up there. LOL

HEY! That picture was taken in Illinois!

Spent a summer building a church in Lake St. Louis. Chapel of the Lake. Funny thing was when one of my subcontractors started the original building on fire. All the news people were looking for someone to rag on so I locked myself in the construction trailer and immediately after calling my company to let them know what was happening, I called a local radio station and requested they play "Smoke On The Water" for me. When he asked why and I told him, he busted out laughing and played the song. I just figured my resume would read, "Last job: Burned church," and I'd never be working again. Considering the previous project, where I flooded a mall in North Canton, Ohio, I figure it all balanced out.
