I've lived in this town for my whole life and there are some ups and downs for this town, like where some people lives are really hostile and stuff but other places in this town are really nice, plus all the stores like hucks, Casey's, and other places for snacks and such are all on one street, which is called walnut

We moved to Murphysboro, IL from unincorporated Hinsdale, Timberlake area and love it down here. I grew up in Burr Ridge my entire life. Murphysboro has so many outdoors things to do such as wineries, concerts, hiking, boating, fishing and the downtown has everything with in walking distance of our house. Downtown is quiet, affordable and convenient, real estate values will not break the bank and taxes are much more affordable than up north. The climate is sub tropical, so the winter is nothing like the Chicagoland area. The opportunities to start your own business is limitless.
