This song makes me feel so much cooler about living in Illinois. But Effingham is actually a really shitty town. How it inspired him, I truley do not know.

It could have been the 198' tall steel cross RIGHT next to I-70 which symbolizes the city's motto of, "The crossroads to Opportunity" as well as it's Christian heritage, that caught his attention. It's kind of hard to miss!~
