There's an Illinois group that KarenSme started.

Also, there's a meet-up in K'zoo on Saturday, October 11. A lot of people from Chicago are planning on going, some are willing to carpool if interested. :)

For meetup details, see: http://www.tbd.com/group/869/discussion/327443/show

sounds fun but too far right now for me to get to.

so where else are the illinois ppl at from here?

Im In the Quad Cities... my husband works in Lincolnshire and commutes back and forth three days a week.

How about southern Illinois ppl?

I'm from Alton, near St. Louis. Chicago would be a tad far for me to get to.

SW suburbs

I spent my first 8 years next door to Chicago Heights in Park Forest, went to high school in Evanston, and college in Galesburg. My mother, sister, and nephew still live in Chicago, but I'm an Atlantan now.

I grew up in St. Charles, spent a few years in DeKalb, but I've been a Minnesotan for 30+ years. I visit Elgin from time to time.
