Illinois Cities with the Most Diversity
Illinois overall is a diverse state, if you look at the demographic makeup of the population. However, travel through most of the towns and cities in downstate Illinois, and you'll see plenty of white folks around, but not many other ethnic groups are represented. That's because the diversity tends to be concentrated in specific places. In this video, we're taking a look at those places where you will find the most diversity.

I enjoy roadside attractions, Americana, historical sites, theme parks, and quirky places of interest. Although I tend to focus on travel, history, literature, theatre, and film, my interests are vast. I particularly enjoy visiting the weird and unusual; the places and things sometimes overlooked. There are stories and history all around us. It is my goal to unlock these stories and share them with the world.
#12 of 13 - 2021 Nov - Fall Colors - Lake Murphysboro Illinois Rt148 Rt51 DashCam Scenic Road Trip
This next set of videos was taken over 2 days, November 11 and 12, 2021. I am not posting the videos from the ride home; we all know how boring US57 is in Illinois. That being said, I’ve reduced a great amount of dashcam footage to the areas I felt were the most scenic and informative. 13 in all, sorry to say.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Video #1 of 13 – begins on southbound US57 close to the exit (Rt16) for Charleston, IL and Eastern Illinois University to the east and Mattoon to the west. I travel on Rt16 through Charleston with no turns and head to southbound Rt130. It is not a quick trip, but I have increased the speed of the video on Rt16 heading to the city of Charleston. The fall colors are lovely on this route. This video ends just as I turn into Fox Ridge State Park.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Video #2 of 13 – begins at the entrance of Fox Ridge State Park off of RT130, touring this very lovely park, where the fall colors are very colorful. It was not very crowded, so there aren’t many cars interrupting the view. I exit the Park on southbound RT130 and continues south where it ends at the north side of Newton, Illinois. Speed is also increased from Fox Ridge State Park to Newton.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Video #3 of 13 – begins entering Newton, Illinois with a great view of this lovely town, continues south on Rt130 and ends at the north of Albion, Illinois. Speed also increased to avoid certain boredom. Colors are very nice on Rt130. Albion, Illinois can be found at intersection of Rt130 and Rt15.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Video #4 of 13 – Tour continues south on Rt130 at north side of Albion, IL and heads west on RT15. The city of Albion is very nice, even as the setting sun begins to hamper the view. Again, speed in increased when not traveling through towns such as Albion, Fairfield, and Wayne City. There was a detour in Mt Vernon on westbound Rt15. I may have edited out some of these roads in the interest of time. The video ends in the parking lot of the Drury Inn in Mt Vernon, Illinois.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Video #5 of 13 – Begins with heading out at my hotel, heading south on 57 to Marion, Illinois and breakfast at Cracker Barrel. It was raining, wipers are wiping, and I’ve sped up the footage to, again, avoid boredom. You can still see the fall colors on the side of the highway.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Video #6 of 13 – Leaving Cracker Barrel and heading to tour Giant City State Park by way of RT148. Footage ends entering Makanda from the north. Beautiful colors. Skies were cloudy, but you can also see colors in my return trip to Giant City State Park in video #10.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Video #7 of 13 – begins at north side of Makanda and heading to Anna (to get gas) by way of Rt25/Shiloh Rds. I have also increased the speed of the footage on Rt51. Ends at the gas station in Anna, Illinois.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Video #8 of 13 – heading to Cobden and Alto Pass. Since I already covered Rt51 heading south, I begin this footage heading north just before the road to Cobden, Illinois. Very pretty fall colors on this route. I pass through Cobden, Alto Pass and head to Bald Knob Cross. The footage ends at Bald Knob Cross Rd/Rt127.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Video #9 of 13 – Leaving Bald Knob Cross/Rt127, I head to Makanda by way of Alto Pass. I skip Cobden in order to use a different road, Jamestown and Old Hwy 51 where I meet Rt51.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Video #10 of 13 – Return trip to Giant City State Park tour and head out. Ends at Rt148/Rt13 intersection.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Video #11 of 13 – heading to Murphysboro, Illinois via Rt13. Footage is again increased in boring sections. Ends on Rt13/Rt149 a few miles east of entrance to Lake Murphysboro.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Video #12 of 13 – tour of Lake Murphysboro, heading back to Carbondale via Rt127, Rt149 ad Rt51. Footage ends on Rt51near intersection of Rt51 and Rt13.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Video #13 of 13 – Tour of Carbondale which includes a favorite area of mine (twice. I had a car behind me and couldn’t stop). Then, tour a little bit of SIU campus and Campus Lake. Needing to waste come time, I headed out of SIU area and stopped at Hobby Lobby to shop. This is where I end. The parking lot of Hobby Lobby

10 Most Rural Counties in Illinois
People usually think of Chicago when they picture Illinois, but the state is actually much more rural than outsiders would realize, if they haven't traveled through the area. Some counties in Illinois have more cows than humans, and the population density for a square mile is less than that of a standard city block in other areas. In this video, we're looking at the 10 counties in Illinois with the smallest population density.
