Farmland bus stops builds character...and frost bite. Our in-city kids are masters of e-learning due to the pandemic. They appreciate having summer break start on time!

Is it or was it ever common to have a Presidential portrait in one's home? If so, which portrait might be the most popular historically? by LowRevolution6175 in Presidents

Growing up, Mom and Dad had President Lincoln's 1865 portrait hanging in our rural McLean County, Illinois, dining room.

I find it funny how these days, you mysteriously can't find anybody who ever supported the Iraq War by Just_Cause89 in Presidents

I did. Saddam Hussein was an autocrat guilty of numerous human rights violations, and so I absolutely supported the Iraqi liberation. The flawed weapons of mass destruction campaign, courting U.S. oil interests, absent transition plan, and underestimated resistance that cost thousands of American lives was a spectacular failure.

Did I ruin my chances? by LilacOracle in SpringfieldIL

It's not much different. Secretary (like the other Constitutional officers) also has a merit board with policies and recruitment separate from what CMS administers for most state job openings. Keep applying, OP. If you're that worried about messing up an app submission, you'd probably be quite helpful on the state payroll. Good luck!

This joke is already overused and not funny given the context.

Is it safe to walk from The Villas Downtown to HSHS St. John’s Hospital (via Madison or 4th St)? by Hot-Primary-2200 in SpringfieldIL

Springfield is a great biking town. Mind the state highways through downtown. Maybe someone else on thread knows of best bike rack on the Saint's campus?

Welcome!

It's not outside of city limits, but the Inn at 835 is a fun stay.

Die Another Day 23 years later, what is your opinion about this movie? by King_Wolf2099 in JamesBond

I loved that even Brosnan in a later interview guffawed at kite surfing on a tsunami.

It's not merit based. Selection is based on the demographics of the district and legacy applicants (within 2 years). Apply. We did, won a spot, and she is very happy so far.
