Sangamon County Reviews
Rating 3.44 out of 5 9 reviews
Sangamon county is a great place to live! In general, there is little crime, great stories and businesses and a wonderful place to raise a family.
This is a historical town with Abe Lincoln and all the tourist stuff. We have many chain restaurants. There are some local favorites like Abes Hideout, Bella Mallanos, Suppottos, The Chili Den. Go local, its more fun. I forgot Charlie Parkers and we are on the RT 66 highway.
This is the capital of IL so a lot of people work for the Government here. We do have Bunn here, the place that makes the coffee makers, but no real industry here.
