    From Illinois/Indiana originally but I live in DE now. I moved around a lot in the suburbs when I was little but actually went to high school in Indiana (just across the boarder near Gary). I miss it. :(

    This is making me homesick! I lived just south of Urbana but had Unit 7 schools. Currently stuck in Nebraska..ugh! I can't find good pizza or good chinese here for anything..I would love some Monical's pizza though, and First Wok rangoons and to top off..Sidney Dairy Barn ice cream...Planning a trip back home to visit family this summer sometime.
