Springfield has been and still is segregated, but you've obviously never been to West Virginia. There are certainly some trashy people here and they show up every year at the Illinois State Fair, but there are many wonderful friendly people here. I grew up in this town on the west side and watched them build White Oaks Mall. I've lived all over the United States and am always reminded how friendly midwesterners are when I come back home to Springfield. Frankly there's good and bad everywhere you go, some of it is how you chose to look at things. You're cup is not only empty, it's rolled around in the dirt for a while.
