Quote from: I-57/Route 66 Fan on August 21, 2026, 09:36:15 AMwhy are you have a thing for flatness

Serious answer time:  This is a whole forum history inside joke that you're apparently not privy to.

Which I find somewhat amusing that the guy who wants to "revive old threads" isn't aware of it.
Not that one but I might revive an old thread tonight.

In general, unless you got something substantial to add you probably ought to refrain from that.
Yes I do, like Friday another very very hot take.

I can assure, your hot take opinions are doing far more to "annoy the masses" versus being something actually "substantial." 

Man. Go to the forum's home screen and look at the "Recent Posts" portion.

I can think of a couple of forum members who may go into meltdown seeing that. I won't name names, but the one that immediately comes to mind is probably obvious anyway because of how that sort of list breaks "routine."

Ah, a strong counter argument for why reviving long dead threads has just stated.  Well played sir.

But seriously, we had a really bad an example on Pacific Southwest recently of why dead thread revivals shouldn't be done "just because."

Hmmmm...

Well, Hawaii throws off the data, because its mean center of population is in the middle of the ocean.  But, otherwise, the answer appears to be Delaware.

Too flat.

Bradley IL also isn't rated high enough by Wallethub.

You just keep pushing these questions nobody else cares about and expecting an honest answer out of people who don't care.

Here's a starting point: research any publicly-available information about Crumbl or Nothing Bundt Cakes and their marketing campaigns. Then go into ArcGIS Online and build a web app to determine if the area's demographics align well with their marketing strategies. If they do, go ahead and give them a call detailing the information you've found.

I'm sorry I took my anger out on the forum, while I do live in a college town, I am tired of the suburbanization of Bradley, as we also have a new Bricks & Minifigs, we also have coming to town Dutch Bros., 7 Brews, and Scooters Coffee. (which are pretty much brands you find only in suburbs along with Crumbl and Nothing Bundt Cakes, we also have many great local coffee shops, and we are NOT a suburb) (if a Dave's Hot Chicken comes here I would know we are defiantly being suburbanized).

Are you planning on moving somewhere that isn't "suburbanized?"  If so, you won't find what you are looking for in most of Illinois.

I like both brands, but they need not be in Bradley. I'm fine with them being in Mokena or Orland where they belong, as those are suburban.

Oh, there are plenty of non-suburbanized places in Illinois.  Maybe he should move to Zeigler, Iuka, Addieville, or Beecher City.  No big chain soccer mom coffee shops in those towns!
