"My god, *Will County* is flatter than a pancake"
(from an article by stuart @ gargoyle.UChicago.UUCP)

Although Stuart was working on slandering only the city of
Detroit, I cannot let this slur on the county of my birth
go unflamed.  I grew UP on a hill in Will County. I had to
walk up a 2nd hill to get to my elementary school, and 
I had a MUCKING GREAT BIG hill to go up on my trip home
from high school.  You want flat?  Go to Champaign.  I once
pushed a wheelchair all the way from the outskirts of Urbana
to the other end of Champaign, and I didn't have to go uphill
once.  THAT'S FLAT.  (Gloss: Will County is near Chicago, IL). 
	Anyone from Naperville care to slander their favorite
piece of Illinois real estate?  When I was in high school,
people used to graduate and move to Naperville because it
was a sleepy little farm town and cheap to live in.  Now
they've all moved back to Joliet, because Bell Labs moved in
and ruined property values (from their standpoint).
