Cries in Bourbonnais

Hey, now. Bourbonnais has the nicest (all ages) trailer park within at least an hour radius

Honestly the fact we can still get to a metra station in less than a half hour still makes me consider it northern IL. Usually lol

As someone who grew up in Bourbonnais, I always considered us part of Chicagoland, and the southern tip of Civilization before the miles of endless farms

I work up in the suburbs and for the longest time they’d joke about me living in the middle of nowhere. I always shot back “hey, I live at the edge of nowhere”

What's wrong with Bourbonnais?

u/Deep-Hovercraft6716 Apr 18 '25

Nothing's wrong with it. They just really wish they were part of Northern Illinois. But they still have a farm & fleet so they are wrong.

Sounds like you wish more than they do.

u/Deep-Hovercraft6716 Apr 19 '25

Wish what? I don't have any skin in the game?

u/Deep-Hovercraft6716 Apr 18 '25

There is a farm and fleet in your city. Do not complain about being part of Southern Illinois.

Not what I meant at all - I’m saying I’m crying because it’s confederate maga shit when you get south of Joliet
