Bloomington Illinois

[Clint_Noname]

Pros of Bloomington/Normal include low crime, a good school system, a stable economy (Illinois State University and State Farm are located there), and a very clean, welcoming feel.

Cons include a high cost of living by Midwest standards and a general lack of things to do, but those are minor issues.

**** could hit State Farm at any time. Mitsubishi Motors' market position is weak. The state could cut Illinois State funding.

B-ton has really changed over the years. I was one of "those college kids" who lived in B-ton for my 4 year college career. I really liked the town and that was before all the commercial development. There is certainly more to the town that ISU and IWU. State Farm is a major employer there as well as the universitites. I have severl friends who live there and really enjoy the lifestyle and the schools. They can get to Chicago and St. Louis fairly easily if they want big city adventures.
