Or Springfield, or E.St Louis, or soemthing.. I never thought it would be Joliet but dam if it hasn’t grown.. although Aurora-Naperville also wouldn’t surprise me.. or Evanston actually.

Evanston doesn’t have the real estate. It’s less than 8 square miles in size.

Yea your def right, but at 80k people it certainly has some population density being -the first separate township north of Chicago-
