The 7 Things We Do Best in the State of Illinois

Illinois, land of rough Winters, uncomfortably humid Summers and government that can't balance a budget. Every state has bragging rights, here is where we rule the country.

1. Pizza

Even if you don't love deep dish, we still make thin crust better than New York.

2. Pumpkins

Yep... nobody grows more of these than us

3. Potholes

The city of Rockford made lead the state in gaping road holes

4. Horseradish

While straight horseradish has some pretty powerful nose-clearing properties, these mustards are my favorites. Good thing we grow more horseradish in Illinois than anywhere in the country.

5. Being flat

Besides F.I.B.s, some refer to Illinoisans as flatlanders.

6. Criminal politicians

7. Pride

Is there a team in the NFL with a more dedicated fan base?

The team at Only In Your State came up with more things to brag about.
