Springfield
Civil War Statue on Lincoln's Tomb
May, 2004
Springfield seems to contrast Chicago to a great degree, yet it's Springfield
that's the capital. Springfield is small and local, with a city block of buildings
set aside to look and feel like it did when Abraham Lincoln called the city home.
Outside this block however, the city moves at a leisurely pace, but not so slowly
to bore a person. Something about Springfield is very appealing, although I can't
quantify what it is. I feel the city would make a good home.
