Ah, yes, I know exactly what that means! I've also heard Illinoyances called
"flatlanders." But I spend a lot of time down in IL singing and I would live
in Chicago in a heartbeat, if it weren't for the fact that I have a very cool
house and to find a house of similar size and proximity to the highway and
downtown would cost me 4x as much in Chicagoland. Plus my SO goes nuts when
he has to deal with traffic - it's the same reason we lived in Baltimore and
not in DC, although most of my work was in DC.
(Note to List: This was on-topic - I did use the word "singing.") :)
