Being where the University of Illinois is located, the amount of diversity found here is extraordinary. I wish there were terrain features, though!
I really enjoy the amount of things to do in Champaign, there is a diverse nightlife featuring both hole-in-the-wall hangouts and fancier downtown bars/restaurants. I love all of the different parks and the public library is amazing, definitely one of my favorite places. One of the only things I wish they would improve is the management of the roads, most of the roads are in really terrible shape and nobody seems to be doing much about it. This applies to plowing the roads as well, you better hope you have some type of shovel if it snows because otherwise you probably won't be leaving for a few weeks. Overall I enjoy the town and think it's really a cool place to live.
I love the town I live in. We have beautiful land and great food! The majority of the town is surrounded by corn and soy bean fields. The Midwest is the ideal region to live in because we produce a lot of the vegetables that are distributed throughout the country. We can enjoy the veggies while they are fresh! I enjoy Illinois because it's a good mixture of the northern states and the southern states. If we want to go shopping, we'll head into town and shop. But if we want to have a relaxed night; we just set up a bonfire and stay home. If someday I were forced to move out of Illinois, I would definitely want to move back as soon as I could.
