Title: Hello from the Chicago Suburbs!
Post by: ILRoad55 on March 28, 2016, 11:01:59 AM
Hello everyone! I am from the southwest suburbs of Chicago. I am pretty young but roads have always interested me.

A little about me: I have been reading maps since I was like 5. People always ask me for direction and find it weird I know where to go so well. I am still in high school. I really like to check out old things and just research about them.

You'll probably find me in the Midwest board the most.

Welcome from flip-flop Winnipeg!

I was like you when I was younger, having a excellent sense of direction. Now I am a Google Maps and Streetview junkie, constantly looking for cool signs and scenery.

I always like traveling to St. Louis, something about the drive makes me like it. I have had some fun memories in St. Louis like the City Museum.

Thanks guys!

It's weird how I have never been to Joilet, the closest I have gotten was Lockport, Dellwood park for a XC meet. We just never have the need to go there.

Welcome!

I live in Kansas, but I was born in Joliet and lived in New Lenox till 1990.  Then, from 2000 through 2006, I lived in Wheaton and Carol Stream, while my fiancée moved to nearby Naperville.

Welcome from sunny eastern North Carolina!

But since we're adding our Chicagoland bona fides I grew up in the NW Suburbs (Schaumburg to be specific) from 1979-1991.
