Why We Love Illinois (Despite the Winter Weather)

When the winter winds are howling and the snow is coming down in inches, it can be difficult to remember why Illinois is such a great place to live. Luckily, the state has no shortage of homes with fireplaces, on-call heating specialists, and knowledgeable city workers ready to improve the state’s roadways. As we continue to suffer brutal winter conditions, try and remember these reasons that Illinois is a special place to live year-round:

1. Varying Weather – What may seem like a detriment is actually a positive aspect for many residents. The state offers a wide variety of activities, from sailing our great lakes under sunny skies in the summer to sledding down hills covered in feet of snow during the winter.

2. World-Class Museums –The collection of galleries and centers in Chicago is one of the best in the world. ‘Sue’, the best-preserved and most-complete T-Rex in the world, is on display at the Field Museum of Natural History, while dolphin shows and solar system re-creations are viewable at Shedd Aquarium and Adler Planetarium, respectively.

3. Farmland and Skyscrapers – Illinois offers a variety of landscapes, from the rolling rural hills of the state’s ample farmlands to some of the first modern skyscrapers ever built in Chicago and other cities. Visitors can enjoy bustling urban life and scenic byways and national parks in one trip.

4. Lincoln’s Birthplace – A visit to Springfield provides a look at one of the most influential presidents in the nation’s history. With his childhood home and tomb both on display, visitors can freely celebrate this iconic leader.

5. Exciting Sports Venues – With a professional football, basketball, hockey, and two baseball teams, sports fans have plenty of options. In addition, there are a number of notable collegiate teams throughout the state.
