Best State Ever!!!

There's nothing weirder than watching television when suddenly a commercial comes on that you swear is showing a shot of dolphins in your home state.

Followed by a skyscraper that has a glass box jutting out of its side -- that you swear is in your home state.

Followed by buffalo that you admit could be in your home state.

Followed by an Abraham Lincoln nose that you're convinced is in your home state.

Followed by a gorgeous cave that you've heard is in your home state.

Followed by a skyline that you KNOW is in your home state.

Followed by an announcer who says:

Mile after Magnificent Mile. EnjoyIllinois.com

And then you realize that you have just witnessed a tourism commercial.
You've seen them all your life. But they've always been for Alaska. Or the Dakotas. Or Wisconsin.

But now you've seen one for your home. Or, what was your home for the majority of your life. Before you moved to a state that assumes everyone has heard of a particular movie even though everyone, especially you, has not.


And it makes you a bit proud when you realize that your state looks way way way awesomer than all the other states. Combined.

Though you may be a bit biased.
