Cheap AND Safe Places in Illinois
High gas prices, inflation, shrinking package sizes...these things are all impacting Americans, but it's worse in some parts of the country. In the dense, metropolitan cities in the U.S., costs were expensive to begin with, and that's exactly what you see in Chicago. The city dwellers deal with high taxes and an inflated cost of living regularly, but elsewhere in the state of Illinois, the cost of living is much lower. For those who are looking for a place to live that is both affordable and has a low crime rate, you've come to the right place. In this video, we're looking at nine Illinois communities that are cheap and safe.

Hoopeston, Illinois has a very colorful past which includes being home to several POW Camps for German soldiers during WWII. During their confinement in Hoopeston, one small group of prisoners escaped trying to get to South America but were captured nearby just a few days later. This video also reveals stories about how the town became the Sweet Corn Capital; the massive Hoopeston Canning Company which later became part of Stokley-Van Camp, how the term Corn Jerkers came about and how a queen was robbed of her crown.

Driving Around Small Town Pittsfield, IL in 4k Video
Filmed on Friday, March 17 2023, I drive around the village of Pittsfield, Illinois to see what's going on.
Pittsfield is a city in and the county seat of Pike County, Illinois, United States. The population was 4,576 at the 2010 census, an increase from 4,211 in 2000.
Pittsfield is the self-proclaimed Pork Capital of the Midwest, owing to the long history of pork production in the region, which fed into the large meat-packing industry of Chicago. Though agriculture in the region is no longer so dependent on pork, the town still hosts a yearly Pig Days festival.
Pittsfield was initially settled by settlers from New England. These settlers were of old Yankee stock, descended from the English Puritans who had founded and settled New England in the 1600s. A group of settlers from Pittsfield, Massachusetts headed west and settled this region of Illinois in 1820. When they arrived the area was a virgin wilderness, they constructed farms, roads and government buildings.
As county seat, the town was one of the various places in central Illinois where Abraham Lincoln practiced law as part of the circuit court, working on 34 cases between 1839 and 1852. One local newspaper, now known as the Pike Press, was then owned by another of Lincoln's future secretaries, John Nicolay, and featured an editorial containing one of the first known suggestions of Lincoln as the Republican nominee for the presidency. Pittsfield was also home to John Hay, Lincoln's personal secretary, ambassador to England under President William McKinley, later Secretary of State for Theodore Roosevelt and creator of the Open Door Policy.
Pittsfield is home to the most locations in the world that have documented connections to Abraham Lincoln. There are nine homes still in existence in Pittsfield that are connected to Lincoln, including the Shastid House, where Lincoln often stayed while practicing cases in the county. His personally signed documents have been stolen from the courthouse. Many people in the county have seen them and know they exist. The public is alerted to watch for them, should they surface at sales, in museums, or private collections. The dockets listing Lincoln's cases still remain, stored in ancient records in the courthouse basement.
There are many historic landmarks within the city limits, the most notable of which is the Pike County Courthouse. The courthouse was designed by Architect Henry Elliott of Chicago and Jacksonville. Contractors were Yeager and Schultz of Danville, Illinois. The courthouse was to be completed within 400 days after the signing of the contract at a cost of $45,000. Groundbreaking for the courthouse was on May 11, 1894. The cornerstone was laid on July 12, 1894, and the dedication of the new courthouse was on November 16, 1895. Robert Franklin, a master mason from Nebo, Illinois designed and supervised the keystone architecture of the courthouse. It was the third courthouse in Pittsfield and the fifth in Pike County. The building is of octagon shape 96 x 96 feet of Cleveland sandstone veneering, backed by heavy walls of brick; the dimensions over all, is over the steps and porches, is 119 feet by 119 feet. Four entrances, all exactly alike, face the four cardinal points – north, south, east, and west.
The East Ward School, built between 1861 and 1866, was designed by Architect John M. Van Osdel, who also designed the Palmer House in Chicago, as well as the Governor's Mansion in Springfield. John Houston of Griggsville built the school for the contract price of $35,000, which was financed by bonding. The building is stone (boated from Joliet on the Illinois river) and brick burned in Pittsfield. Both the grade school and high school were located in this building. At the completion of the East School in 1866, it was one of the finest and largest buildings of its kind in the state and fulfilled the requirements of a modern school plant. Original blackboards were simply black paint on the plastered walls. Generally, they were completely around the room, including between the windows. The original building was heated by hot air piped from furnaces in the basement. There were no inside toilet facilities, but there were outside privies located east of the building next to the street. Presently, restrooms are in the basement, through the side doors near the front. Its large clock and bell were donated by Colonel Ross and mounted in the tower. The Clock Tower is one of the few tower clocks in its original state left in the United States. The school closed in 1955 and was unoccupied until 1978 when it was renovated and became the home of the Pike County Historical Society and the Pike County Historic Museum.
The William Watson hotel was built in 1838, and called Mansion House, by William Watson, who was the first settler of Pittsfield. The original hotel is said to have been a frequent stop for Abraham Lincoln and many of his contemporaries. #driving #travel #drivingtour

An ABANDONED St. Louis Suburban Neighborhood: Carrollton, Bridgeton, Missouri.
Carrollton was a neighborhood in the suburban city of Bridgeton. This neighborhood sits right next to St. Louis Lambert International Airport, and the city of St. Louis bought out this neighborhood in the 1990's due to a noise ambient program as the airport built a new runway that pointed right in the direction of Carrollton. Today, the neighborhood is completely abandoned and it looks more like a national wildlife refuge than a city neighborhood.

This Town Has THE MOST EMBARRASING High School Mascot: Hoopeston, Illinois.
Hoopeston, Illinois is located just north of Danville, Illinois and west of Lafayette, Indiana. There's not much to Hoopeston which is surrounded by cornfields. Hoopeston once had a bunch of jobs in the food industry, but times have changed and there are only a few of those jobs that are left. The town has followed the trend of population decline that is present throughout rural Illinois. Oh... and they need to change their high school mascot. It's never too late.

The County Fair - Small Town American Culture Explained
There are many things in the US that foreigners may never get to see, but that would truly help explain a lot about America. The county fair is a tradition that has been going on in counties around the US for decades. Here there are competitions between cows/pigs/art/photography/rodeos riding/tractor pulling and much much more. It is a great time to take the kids out and see something that city folk are not used to seeing. It is fun and you will eat your heart's (or heart attack's) delight in true American summer food treats. So if you are in the US in July or August watch out for county and state fairs for their fun.

Siesta Key, Florida Is More Than A Reality Show. People.
Siesta Key has often been ranked as the best beach in America. Known for it’s soft white sand that never gets too hot underneath the sizzling Florida sun, and also known for the clear blue tint of the water… even though Red Tide was in action when I was here. Regardless, Siesta Key is definitely worth a visit if you’re ever able to come down to the Sarasota area. Throughout this video though we’re going to be seeing the CDP that is Siesta Key, not so much the beach. Along the way I’ll tell you more about what it’s like to both live here and visit.

This Historic Indiana Town Has NO DOWNTOWN!! Clarksville, Indiana 5K.
Clarksville claims to be the oldest town in the Northwest Territory. It also claims to be the gathering spot for the Lewis and Clark expedition. Those are some big claims, yet the town doesn't have a historic Downtown! Anyway... most people today think of Clarksville as a place to go shopping, as it's home to the largest retail corridor in Southern Indiana, and arguably in all of the Louisville Metro area.
