Blandinsville, SW Illinois?

Down here in Southern Illinois we would call that NW Illinois. It's north of Springfield.

At the very least West Central Illinois.

I was getting excited that there were going to be more folks in Southern Illinois.

Hope your move goes OK.

Yep ..I and I call them bags, you call them sacks!
Thanks, I hope so too.

Blandinsville is close to me and we call it west central IL here. However, being born and raised in northern IL, I understand how anything to the south is southern IL! LOL! Welcome to BYC.

Hi Ang,
Thanks for the welcome. Yes considered western IL, even the college. Just goes to show... depends on where you are from.

Yep, for us deep south Southern Illinois folks anything north of Highway 13 (Carbondale) is Northern Illinois.
