No state has gained a reputation for having residents leave more than Illinois has for the past few years. Now, it appears we know where all of the fleeing Illinoisans are going.
I was under the impression that Florida was one of the top destinations for people fleeing other states. Apparently, I had that backwards as there is new evidence showing that there is currently an exodus happening from the Sunshine State and many are heading directly toward Illinois.
For what it's worth, I'm not on board with all of the stay away from Illinois at all costs lists that occasionally get passed around the internet. However, I'm not an expert mover and there are several moving companies that seem to be in agreement that you might want to avoid moving to the Land of Lincoln.
In today's world, when you see that a statue (or in this case, statues) are being removed from the spots where they stood, you probably wonder what societal misdeeds they're being accused of committing. At least I do.
