Keep searching - they're still out there!

I'm constantly doing this and asking for Ike's Asia finding out some of the tellers have had them in their trays for months and can't get rid of them. In the last month I've bought close to 150 Ike's. All clad but I will take that in a heartbeat!

I have my location as Chicago but actually I'm close to 50 miles west of Chicago out in the deep deep corn fields. Very different and conservative out here. Even though the state is always democratic my county is republican. Fly the flag proudly on my block

I'm the same way. I live about 2 hours southwest of chicago, my backyard is a cornfield and the small town I live in has been voted several years as a top 10 place to raise a family in the entire country. Very conservative here. We Illinoisians get a bad rep for Chicago when 90% of the state is nothing like Chicago.

If you are talking about the population, I respectfully beg to differ. The population of the state of Illinois (per Wikipedia) is 12,880,000. Of those, 9,522,434 live in the metro Chicago area. That is 74% of the state's population.
On the other hand, places like Springfield, Moline are totally different than the big city.

I think you are taking the 90% figure too literal. I also was referring to the areas, Chicago is a small portion of Illinois in reference of area, not population. Go south of I-80 and things are quite a bit more conservative and small town-ish feeling. Even in 100k+ population cities like Springfield! champaign and Bloomington, are small town type cities. The same can be said of most of NY outside NYC. Illinois has 59 districts and most are not in the Chicago area.
