Collinsville: the Paris of south eastern Illinois
After a 5 hour drive I've settled in down here in Collinsville. Good new, my hotel is located directly between an arbys and a white castle. Gonna be some awesomely unhealthy eats this week.
In case you aren't familiar with this rural gem, heres some info. As of the 2010 census, the city had a population of 26,016. Collinsville is approximately 12 miles from ST. Louis. So everybody here is pretty much a missourin (is that a word?). They follow the cardinals, Missou tigers, st Louis blues.
Oh snap, I just found out the worlds largest ketchup bottle is located in Collinsville! And it has a website
Things are looking up around here.
