Much like living in Quincy, rooting for the Cubs seemed like a good idea at one time. Frankly though I couldn't figure out how to give STL or Quincy a chance after trying, and didn't see much point giving Springfield or Peoria a chance, and the Quad Cities seemed not so much like a destination as a place I should have moved if I wanted to make the project less of a disaster.

What a dark, unpleasant place. Getting into the caves isn't so hard, because Quincy is situated on high bluffs overlooking the Mississippi. So access is probably pretty much straight in from the highway or something like it. Keeping the Mississippi out the next time it floods in a major way may be a bigger problem. Being in Quincy though... that's the biggest problem. The darkest two years of my life were my time there, trying to find something to do, trying to stay warm in my cavernous old house. Quincy is 100 miles from anywhere, and once you get anywhere you still have a couple hundred miles to get to anywhere you'd actually want to be.
