I was born in 1990 but identify as Greatest Generation. Thrifty, savvy, cooperative giving, strong. I do respect Millennials though, they have inherited a big mess from boomers who deprive them of housing and shit upon them just for liking lattes and avocado.

It keeps catching my eye and then i am somewhat disappointed it’s not a history book or a book about Lincoln. Is it good??

Had to push the iPhones tilt correction tool to the max 😔. I need a drone!

Ugh i was too late to try it when i went by. Next time!

Lol. Well there you go, you are the reason for Alton’s sudden status as hipster Mecca. I am going to see if the library there will book my travel lecture so I can go back!

Is that so??

Mega-influencer @chickenjoestl.bsky.social posted a bunch of pics and then I copied him and went there after my conference in STL. The wave is growing.

u bet!

You have just put a target on both of our backs…. With this much money on the line don’t think the big wigs in Springfield will pause even a moment before tossing us into the Sangamon

I went back there but… do they let people in?!

Great resource. Big fan of Zinn’s work & legacy—appreciate what you guys do!

President Lincoln! Douglas is #3. They are all pretty close tho and it's a little confusing how they are measured (whether or not podium, column, and statue height are included). I am pretty confident in my ranking though.

It’s definitely worth checking out! Went to midnight mass at st Luke’s long ago but I should go back. I usually go to Episcopal services when I’m traveling, usually a safe bet for a welcoming congregation, good music, and pretty building. Which i can’t always count on in my own denomination, sadly.
