In or near So Illinois

[Packrat]

There seems to be a bunch of people from PA, so how about So Illinois (or SW Indiana, western Kentucky, or eastern Missouri)? I'm near where I64 and I57 cross.

I went to highschool in Bridgeport, not too far from your neck of the woods, about 15 miles from the IL-IN state line, graduated from a school in Vincennes, IN, just across the river, and worked around there in the newspaper business on and off from 1970-1996. My dad was a refinery engineer at the Texaco *Indian Refinery* at Lawrenceville, then Texaco's third largest volume production facility. My kid's still in that area, so I still get out that way from time to time.
