I feel good about the fact that I knew almost all of those. Does that mean that even though I don't live there anymore, I'm kind of from there?
Oh, come on! Kankakee's not that bad! I haven't gotten shot once, honest. If you ever read the blotter section of the Journal, you'll note that the vast majority of goings-on in Kankakee are done by people who are actually residents of Burr-bone-us or Bradley. :)
I'd also like to add that true B/B/K3 residents know that a single order of eggs at Vips actually comes doubled.
And we visited DQ on the 29th, thankyouverymuch.
