FAIRFIELD, Illinois — Drive 275 miles due south from Cook County to Wayne County. You’ll notice differences right away.
It is warmer here, literally — last Wednesday, when it was 42 degrees in Chicago, it was 67 degrees in Fairfield, the county seat, and with a population of 5,000, the largest town in Wayne County, population 15,000.
Figuratively warmer too. Ask directions at a bakery and the owner will walk out into the street to point the way. Strangers volunteer to put you up for the night. Pop in on the bank president, unannounced, and he’ll visit with you a good long spell. The Rotary meeting starts with a sing-along of “Clementine.”
This isn’t the traditional South, true. But the three vehicles in the fleet of the Fairfield Police Department are Chevy pickup trucks.
The occasional Confederate flag can be spied flying in the yards of modest homes that sell for $35,000. There is a free-standing video store....

Steinberg is one of the more idiotic of the idiots. He is not worth reading.
At least one can visit a locale that votes 84% for Trump without fearing for their life. Try going into 85%+ precincts for Zero and Hillary and see what they’re like.
The description in the excerpt sounds idyllic, but then you remember, they’re under the thumb of Chicago, so they’re taxed to death, their state is a bankrupt laughingstock and those houses are so cheap because nobody wants to buy them. Spin Chicago and burbs off, let the decent rest of the state be what they’re capable of being.
Wow, sounds great - I think I want to move there!
I took a reassignment to Appanoose County Iowa (Centerville) back in the late 1980’s and it sounds very similar.
Obviously not Wayne County, Michigan.
Yes. Occasionally a writer will visit our idyllic little town and you later read similar comments, "friendly," "helpful," "Cowboy boots," etc., as though they were visiting a strange unknown land.
whereas Wayne County, Michigan (right next door) typically votes 84% or so for the candidates that destroy their jobs and leave many of them in an impoverished dangerous slum.’
go figure!
????
BINGO!!!!
Sounds like a good ole boy Amish town. Lots of “thee’s” and “thou’s”. No “yo mutherf**ker”, “hey ho”, and “who’s your daddy?” at birthdays.
The left is incinerating itself with its own hate.

I picked up on that right away too.
Gee! She was talking about Utahans as if they were from Fiji.
I’m sure the author doesn’t like places like this due to the “lack of diversity” (despite the fact that when he goes home, as with most elites, their neighbors and neighborhood are Whiter than an Alaskan winter).
So is Wayne County ,PA
What is the Rotary club?
Well, at least Steinberg wasn’t his usual snide self in this report of his visit to another planet.
I had to do a double take....at first, I thought they were talking about Wayne County, Michigan.
I was thinking, “Whaaa-t?!”
