Welcome! Where exactly is Spring Valley? There are lots of Illinois people, but it seems most of us are the northern variety.

How could you possibly claim to be from central Illinois? Spring Valley is in north-central Illinois - and don't you forget it! I've lived in Carbondale, Springfield, Glendale Heights and now Joliet, so this is a sensitive subject!!

Indeed. I've lived in Jacksonville, Springfield, Carbondale, and Makanda--- From Jacksonville originally-- which I always thought of as "Central Illinois." LaSalle/Peru/Spring Valley was always "Northern"

 

[z987k]

From Chambana here or at least most of the year. Sometimes I make a trip back to Moline.

Hey Tubbfan. I was raised on Joliet. Went to Joliet West (Class of 93!).

Where abouts are you in Joliet?

 

[Rhoobarb]

Welcome! LaSalle/Peru and Starved Rock are not all that far from me - about an hour's drive.

Isn't that the mascot for Cobden High School?

oh yeah... we're up in the far north burbs... the DMZ between IL and WIS... but I'm originally from the "true" Central Illinois... smack dab in between Peoria and Bloomington.

 

[Copperhed]

Spring Valley?
Dont know the area, but brings to mind a procedure me and me pals use to discern a person's capabilities....we call it the "Spring Valley Wake-up".

After noting a nodding comrade:

Make fist and protrude index knuckle.
Place in center of chest and grind into aforementioned chest.
If they wake-up, just needed a nap.
Iffen they dont, its nighty night time, and all over but the cryin'.

Anyways, Welcome!

Yes the central Illinois is a tough debate. Just moved to Plainfield 2 weeks ago and will have my brew system up and running in a week or two. Any good clubs in the Plainfield/Joliet area?? Learned my brewin skills in Carbondale. Many a good times in the shawnee! I noticed a few from the Plainfield area. We might need a Plainfield brewoff!

Plainfield is the new black. Seems like it's a little larger than the entire state of Alaska. Funny, considering it used to just be a small conglomeration of racists living in the middle of a cornfield.

What do you mean by club? A brewing club or a place where you can go dance and listen to loud tecno music?

We have a nice group of Plainfield guys and we've had a few get-togethers. They've been pretty fun. We're looking to get another one going sometime soon to do a group brew.

Ya know - it's funny. Plainfield is WELL represented here. We've got more members than most states!

It still seems a bit cornfield-ish to me, but that's slowly changing. I don't know first hand, but I've heard that the racists are still well represented.

Ah, you'll have that wherever you go. Just ignore.

I'm off exit 27 (Atkinson) on I-80...welcome!

None of that tecno stuff. That stuff is for glowstick lovers. Maybe a club that play some bluegrass or something. :rockin:

I am part of Club Wort out of the Palatine area but that is kind of far from me now. We use to have a club brew-in every other month. Lots of fun. I would be happy to help out at a group brew in the Plainfield area. I'll be interested to see what my townhouse neighbors say when they see me brewin every weekend.

Bingo. I lived in Fairview Hts before moving to Appleknocker country in 7th grade. Interesting to note is a nice vineyard/wine cottage industry has sprouted since I moved away. We took the wine tour in 2005 and hit all 7 spots.

Sycamore, IL here.

Heya Boys,

I grew up in Monmouth (near Galesburg)... however I've been deported to NY. Went to school in Champaign.
