Maybe Quincy, IL.


Quincy is a nice little piece of Americana and would probably be a good place to raise a family. There's also some of those older warehouses sitting vacant in Peoria, which is a little more in the mainstream but a POS town IMHO. Rural IL is full of little burgs that have "mansions" on the cheap. Hell, there's a partially re-habbed warehouse a couple blocks away from me in Forest Park that has everything going for it...and I'm pretty sure is/is going to be bank-owned.

One of my pipe-dreams is to buy the old Savanna, IL Army Bunkers (not far from Quincy). I was going to merge my company with the company that owns them a few years back and I got a first-hand look. The bunkers themselves are all dilapidated, leaking and just a plain mess but the land itself is a sportsman's paradise. Imagine your own private slough(s) on the Mississippi River! Hell yeah. The current owner is into them for about 2 mil and I know he wants out.

That would be pretty awesome.

This ain't bad and just across the street from Central Park to boot.
