It's not October. but year round people from all over visit this Illinois town. Once a highly populated and successful town has now been almost deserted and abandoned

I did a double-take the moment I saw this and I predict you will also. Did you know that there are 25 Illinois cities with a higher crime rate than Chicago? It's true and I have the numbers to prove it.
