Excited that you have a new episode. I have watched every episode. I love your series. It introduced me to towns and cities that I would have never thought to visit and I ended up making a long list of them I want to visit, thanks to your series.

I was so very, very happy to hear you state that Abraham Lincoln first moved to Macon County when he moved to Illinois!!! Unfortunately, that site is not a National Park or historically interpreted, yet Abraham Lincoln lived there for an ENTIRE year and many life-changing events happened to him there. It is the only site in the world where Lincoln lived that is not historically preserved and interpreted. It seems inconceivable that this is true, but it is. I love your shows, I’ve watched them all, I’m looking forward to all that are to come as well. Thank you so much for your wonderful program and all of your efforts to make them Informative and very entertaining!!!

been in Springfield 42 years have never been to Abraham Lincoln Presidential museum. Been inside his home 3 times. Even though I have walked though that park 1 thousands of times though. Been to Maid Rite 3 times. Been to Cozy Dogs once will never go again. Foul mouth employees. Governors mansion that last 4-5 State Governor's refused to live in. Choosing Chicago or fairground home to stay in. Never been in Obed and Issac's never will its just a bar. Transforming a home into a bar is not preservation, but it is what happens in Springfield either a bar or split the house up into apartments. It's sad seeing a home built as a single family home converted in to a apartment with 6 tenants. All that could be seen in Springfield could be done in 1 hour, its a pass by city and nothing more.

I couldnt agree with you more. I have been here 20 years and watched this place go south quickly. If you want to learn about Lincoln, this is the place to do it. I believe the reason why the governors dont want to stay here is cause we dont have enough high end crime for them to get their fingers into. reason why the last 4 or 5 of them have gone to prison after being voted out or ending their terms. Why didnt this guy come down on the south side and show the boarded up houses, empty lots and where the slum lords have taken over and destroyed neighborhoods where drug dealers and crime is rampant? That is what springfield is us that have to live here.

@@TLS6723 well I own a property on South East side and I am not a Slumlord. But the problem with the east and south side of Springfield is a Tennant problem. Close projects in Chicago they came south and are acting the same way they acted in Chicago. Loss of manufacturing jobs in Springfield and the owners stop taking care of the property they live in. So yes we sort of agree.

Learn to pronounce the towns correctly. Vandalia, the accent is on the second syllable. (vanDALis)

Need to learn how to pronounce Vandalia, former state capital of Illinois. Its Van - dale - ya not Van - da - lea. Not much of Illinois historian if they can't get that pronunciation right. SMH
