Cause it's a tourist trappy kinda place. Was once a major shipping port due to access to the Mississippi, largest city in Illinois long time ago, historic buildings, home to 9 different civil war generals, haunted as hell (wife's interest), and home to blaum bros distillery (my interest).

now I wanna go!

It is pretty cool and amazing country. Didn't realize IL had hills like that up north. Take your stash with you though. Not a cigar shop to be found unless you head over to Dubuque, IA
