Thread: RAMSEY AND HORSESHOE LAKES CLOSED!

I read that this AM and couldn't believe it. Illinois is almost at the top of the list for poorly managed states. I don't want to start a political deal but its a shame we have what we have. Those that live here know what I mean. Thats all I have to say about that!

I had lived in Illinois for most of my life until May 2014. That's when I took an early retirement from my job and sold our home and left.

I'm honestly not trying to be a jerk when I say it but I'm thankful that we were able to leave when we did. My wife keeps up with the news from our former area by reading the Belleville newspaper online and it's sad to see how fast things are going down the toilet.
