Protected from weather, charming little town events, everyone is nice, maybe ruled by a demon council that keeps everything perfect like in that X-Files episode, really good food for a small Illinois town including several Indian restaurants, really diverse community at the university, quaint little bookshops, the whole enchilada apparently. Alicia kept trying to get me to take her place at the uni there and I was like "it is too far from the sea, but thank you".
