Having grown up here, I can tell you, the 309 area code represents what Illinois is all about. From Peoria with its decaying industry, to Galesburg with its vintage Carl Sandburg-esque small town feel, to everywhere in between that exudes a rural charm typical of the Midwest. They've got it all In the Three Oh Nine.

One thing that has always amazed me about the fans of my alma-mater Nebraska Cornhuskers is their intense loyalty to their state university and its football team. Even in far western Nebraska, somewhere much closer to Wyoming, South Dakota, or even (gasp) Colorado than Lincoln, the Cornhusker fans are everywhere. And they show it. I recently had the opportunity to drive through parts of Western Nebraska and I found signs of Huskers fans from North Platte to Thedford, from the Sandhills to the Platte Valley. This gallery is some of the proof. I love this state.

Built in the early Eighties to connect the giant steel mills in East Chicago, IN with the Indiana Toll Road, the Cline Avenue Freeway curves through the heavy industry and rises high over the Indiana Harbor Canal. The road has a grim history. In 1982, during its construction, a large section of cribbing collapsed during a concrete pour, killing fourteen people and injuring 18 others. As a result of this accident, the road was named the Highway Construction Workers Memorial Highway. In December of 2009, it was discovered that the elevated portion of the road, nearly 3.5 miles, was severely weakened by corrosion and it was closed to traffic. Since then, this section of highway has sat dormant, forcing traffic onto surrounding surface streets. The final outcome for the road has yet to be determined, but it is widely believed that it will be torn down and never rebuilt, as traffic using the highway had declined to a measly 30,000 cars per day.
