I live in the United States of America also. The state of Illinois, where I have lived for the past 15 years since I was born here, in a little town called Mundelein(which I have also lived in my whole life). For reference, its about an hour and a half north of Chicago, so its near both Lake Michigan, Chicago, and the Wisconsin border.
Anyways its quite a small town, we rarely are ever mentioned anywhere. We were mentioned once on the national news, and on the Jay Leno show, for our town police bust of an underground narcotics smuggling operation through burger king.(Though thats probably the worst thing to happen in this town ever). The inside Joke was: "Fries with you COKE?"
When my mom and grandparents first moved here, it mainly consisted of a farming area. My mom, aunt, and uncle all attended the same middle school and high school that I am, and even had some of the same teachers. Although, now the town now has a very large residentual area, with some small businesses, fast food chains, and restuarants, and a population close to about 40,000. The really large malls, and big stores/businesses are mainly in surrounding towns, and in the other parts of the county.
Currently its about 60-70 degrees out. Plus I am finished with my first year of high school, its summer time. But the weather can get very strange around here. Once it was snowing in the middle of march, and april, and our winters can either be very cold, and snowy, or very moderate.
Now hopefully I wont ever have to go into this amount of detail again, and you have a bit of insight about where I live in this chaotic world. And if there was one town to survive a nuclear holocaust it would probably be Mundelein. Out here it just seems that we are completely detached from the rest of the world.
