Journal #27 Idiginous to Illinois

Illinois is not known for many things, but deep down, Illinois is a very important state. For instance, we have horseshoes in Illinois. No one else is worthy of having horseshoes. A horseshoe is a piece of bread (of some kind), with a meat patty (who knows what that's made of...) and then french fries as the top layer. Finally, a nice tasty and unhealthy layer of cheese is added to the very top. Your guess is as good as mine as to whether or bot this can cause you a heart attack,but one thing is for sure, horseshoes are delicious. Other states think they are cool for having monuments, large populations, and famous people. Illinois had a man named Abraham Lincoln, and we all know what he did. Although he was not born in Illinois he soon realized his mistake and journeyed into our great state. He spent a large portion of his life here in Illinois before moving on to the White House, and the presidency. Lincoln showed the south how its done when he defeated them in the civil war and emancipated the slaves. Florida may have nice weather, but we have a man who was tall like Lebron James and had a big hat. We also had Ronald Reagan, who is not as good as Lincoln but he took down the Berlin Wall. Reagan also had what is called "Reaganomics" but that is overated.

Anyway, back to the main point, Springfield, and Illinois for that matter have horseshoes. When people come to visit, such as family or friends, we always make them eat a horseshoe because they have no idea what they are. From my experiences, the people love them and wish they had them back where they lived. I guess mostly being known for Lincoln and horseshoes is not a bad thing. it could be worse. Who knows, maybe we will get something else that tops the horseshoe and makes us all famous?
