You Know You're in Illinois When...: 101 Quintessential Places, People, Events, Customs, Lingo, and Eats of the Prairie State Book Description

Illinois has its own view of the world. Look through that lens and learn 101 quintessential people, places, events, eats, and traditions that help form the personality of the Prairie State. You'll find out why the Chicago Cubs fear billy goats, what penicillin and rotten cantaloupes have in common, and which part of Abraham Lincoln's face has been rubbed raw. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a born-and-bred native, this book will make you smile as you discover what it really means to be in Illinois.

Many worry that these United States are becoming too much like each other -- but Illinoisans know differently. Fun for all ages, this trivia-cum-brag-book highlights and celebrates the Prairie State's different traditions, fashions, cuisine, and history with humor.
For example, you know you're in Illinois when . . .
*you eat a Horseshoe sandwich
*gardens are for the gods
*horseradish grows wild
*ketchup is BIG
*lawn mowers are on parade
