I like pizza. Like you probably do, I eat a lot of pizza. I have eaten a lot of pizza in Missouri, but I've never ever heard of the place which I've learned is the fastest-growing in the state.
It's very much in fashion to give Illinois a hard time these days and some of that grief is probably deserved. But, I would argue that there are at least 5 types of people who would legit really love living in the Land of Lincoln and I'm not even being snarky about this.
