Seems like y'all enjoy some visual reference so given the fact that I'm just drinking and chain smoking...Left my hometown in rural Illinois (pop. 350) for New Orleans fall 2013........the rest is what it is <3 A glimpse of my last decade

......Driving the Bonnecarre expressway at about 12:30 am.....Nola (Well, Metairie) looks like a waffle house sign in the desert. Drove around a while until I found a spot ($20) to leave the van for a bit and wandered the quarter. Ended up drinking a few and sharing some venison jerky I had with a few dudes "Lefty" and "Hot Sauce" out front of Sydneys. They pointed me towards Checkpoints. The first time I saw The Unnaturals

That's some trip... the pictures are real good, and I'm sure there's a story to go with each one of them.

What was rural Illinois like ??

Many times I think of leaving where I am and going to a place that time has forgotten, with a very small population out in the middle of nowhere... but then sometimes I conclude that that's a bad idea, because some of these small towns don't take to kindly to outsiders, which I can understand.

I don't generally have wifi enough to lay the last decade out in one go (rural life) so I figure I will add as I can, and as I can recall it haha. I am in far northern Illinois and as far as I have ever seen it is quite welcoming to all so long as you treat others with respect as they give you. Brought a ladyfriend from Nola back home (considerably more street-wise at the time than me, and with far more outlandish tattoos and ways) and she never had a single qualm
