I wasn't born in Illinois either. When I was growing up my dad was in the Army, so we moved someplace different every 3 years. Since my dad was born and raised in Chicago, that's where we ended up when he retired. North Carolina, do like watch college basketball? I know it's big down there. My favorite college basketball team is Duke (because blue was my favorite color as a kid, haha, and it was my older brothers favorite team)
