I was so inspired by this song and "Prarie Fire" that I decided to spend my spring break exploring the medium sized cities of central Illinois. Peoria, Springfield, Lincoln, Decatur, Bloomington-Normal, and Champaign-Urbana. All of them were beautiful and full of life EXCEPT Decatur. I was really disappointed because this song gives a wonderful impression of the city. In all actuallity the city is dying and dangerously close to dead. It is all run down factories and strip malls. There is one larger mall in the city but it is 80% empty. I felt really sorry for the people that live there and watch their city crumble. |
