Hammond is in Ill. it is south of Decatur near a small town called Arthor Ill.
I live in Florida but was born and raised in Illinois. I was raised in a small town called Wapella. Between Bloomington and Decatur on 51. I’m sure none of you have ever heard of it. If you ever had the opertunity to go through Wapella on 51 you would have seen a purple house. That used to owned by my late grandparents.
I also spent a great deal of time in the Bloomington/Normal area. I still have friends that live there. If any of you happen to know a skinny little fella by the name of Jason Lane or another by the name of Mark Johnston, tell’em I said what up!!
But to those of you who think it sucks living in Illinois, I have been several places around this great country and I’d have to say that Illinois is one of my favorite places. Living in Florida now really blows…There are no seasons, bugs can kill you, gators, I mean come on. Illinois all I had to worry about killing me was driving fast down a good ol’ country road. Stay there!!
As my first post on T-Nation, I have chosen to revive this long-dead thread.
I’m from the NW burbs - Mt. Prospect to be exact. Going to school in Champaign and lifting with the Illini Powerlifting team in IMPE 
DeKalb, at NIU
