Cheap AND Safe Places in Illinois
High gas prices, inflation, shrinking package sizes...these things are all impacting Americans, but it's worse in some parts of the country. In the dense, metropolitan cities in the U.S., costs were expensive to begin with, and that's exactly what you see in Chicago. The city dwellers deal with high taxes and an inflated cost of living regularly, but elsewhere in the state of Illinois, the cost of living is much lower. For those who are looking for a place to live that is both affordable and has a low crime rate, you've come to the right place. In this video, we're looking at nine Illinois communities that are cheap and safe.

In this video, we discuss the ten places in the state of Illinois with the smallest population, according to the most recent census data.

Top 10 Things To Do In Estes Park Colorado
Estes Park's position in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains makes the Colorado town a paradise for adventurers.

Illinois Cities with the Most Diversity
Illinois overall is a diverse state, if you look at the demographic makeup of the population. However, travel through most of the towns and cities in downstate Illinois, and you'll see plenty of white folks around, but not many other ethnic groups are represented. That's because the diversity tends to be concentrated in specific places. In this video, we're taking a look at those places where you will find the most diversity.

Driving Around Small Town Beardstown, IL in 4k Video
Filmed on Monday, February 27, 2023, I drive around the village of Beardstown, Illinois to see what's going on.
Beardstown is a city in Cass County, Illinois, United States. The population was 5,951 at the 2020 census.
Beardstown is located on the Illinois River, which plays an important role in the economy and history of the community, and is the site of two grain terminals where farm products are transferred to barges for transport. Hunting, fishing, and outdoor recreation along the river contribute to the local economy.
I was shocked to see so many hispanic businesses in a rural Illinois small town, which are typically 99% white. There were multiple Mexican restaurants, a Mexican ice cream shop, and a Mexican church! A large pork slaughterhouse, formerly owned by Kraft and Cargill now by JBS, is a major employer and has attracted a substantial immigrant population to Beardstown in recent years.
Beardstown was first settled by Thomas Beard in 1819; he erected a log cabin at the edge of the Illinois River, from which he traded with the local Native Americans and ran a ferry. The town was laid out in 1827 and was incorporated as a city in 1896. During the Black Hawk War in 1832, it was a base of supplies for the Illinois troops.
Thomas Beard's son, Edward Red Beard, a noted gambler and saloon keeper of the Old West, was killed in a gunfight in Kansas in 1873 by Rowdy Joe Lowe. Earlier, he had built a two-story brick building which was used for 85 years as a store and inn. This inn is alleged to have sheltered Abraham Lincoln on his visits to Beardstown, but that is legend and unconfirmed. The building was demolished and replaced by a post office. William Henry Herndon, Lincoln's Springfield law partner, claimed that Lincoln contracted syphilis from a prostitute in Beardstown,[9] an incident author Gore Vidal colorfully recounts in his historical novel Lincoln (1984).
The Beardstown Courthouse was the site of a famous trial which helped build Abraham Lincoln's reputation as a lawyer after he used a copy of a farmer's almanac to undermine the credibility of the prosecution's key witness. The scene was later depicted in a painting by Norman Rockwell. A Lincoln Museum is on the second floor of the courthouse along with many Native American relics.
From 1984 to 1993, a group of 16 late-aged women were picking stocks in the Dow Jones and over the course of nine years were claiming returns of 23.4% on their stocks. Once they went public with the amazing returns, they gained national recognition for their success. The Beardstown Ladies, with an average age of 70 (1994), were asked to appear on The Donahue Show, CBS's Morning Show, NBC's The Today Show, and ABC's Good Morning America. For six straight years they were honored by the National Association of Investors Corp's All-Star Investment Clubs. In 1993, they produced their first home video for investors called, The Beardstown Ladies: Cooking Up Profits on Wall Street. By 1994, they wrote their first book, The Beardstown Ladies' Common-Sense Investment Guide, which sold over 800,000 copies by 1998 and was a New York Times Best Seller. The Beardstown Ladies become a global phenomenon and TV stations from Germany, Brazil, and Japan were interviewing them and taping their monthly meetings in Beardstown. The seeds of scandal were planted in late 1998: a Chicago magazine noticed that the group's returns included the fees the women paid every month. Without them, the returns dwindled to just 9%, underperforming the Dow. An article in The Wall Street Journal led the ladies to hire an outside auditor, which proved they had indeed misstated their returns. Time magazine jokingly stated that they should be jailed for fraud and misrepresentation. As of 2006, the Beardstown Ladies were still buying stocks. Their books can be bought from Amazon.com for mere pennies. #driving #travel #drivingtour

ROAD TRIP TO CAPITAL CITY OF ILLINOIS
Our first road trip to the Capital City of IL. and visiting a historic and museum of President Lincoln.
We stayed on a BARGE on the Illinois River
There aren't a lot of marinas on the Illinois River, so we found an operating Tug Company that allows transients to stay on the side of their barge, we had to say YES. Not only are we almost out of the water, but it's something so unique, we couldn't pass it up. We hope you enjoy a different type of Marina on this short day on the Loop!
Thanks for watching!
Cheers from the Loop,
Jennifer and Elliot

ABOUT US
Hi! We are high school sweethearts from Atlanta, Georgia who decided to take a year off to travel around the world. Together we decided to create vlogs for our journey as a fun way to remember it. On September 15, 2019, we left Atlanta with 3 bags, 2 one-way tickets, and 1 goal of traveling for a whole year. Little did we know, 6 months later we would find ourselves in a nationwide lockdown in India. After spending 5 months in India, we came back to the United States and decided to purchase a 34’ Trawler, dive headfirst into boat life, and kick-off America’s Great Loop.
The good, the bad, the ugly – and most importantly, the real and real funny. We’re not here to tell you “how it’s done.”, just how we’ve done it. And that whatever it is that’s calling you - the way you’ll do it is much more attainable than it may seem.
Thank you for following us along our journey!

Driving Around Small Town Harristown, IL in 4k Video
Filmed on Sunday, March 5, 2023, I drive around the village of Harristown, Illinois to see what's going on.
Harristown is a village in Macon County, Illinois, United States. The population was 1,310 at the 2020 census. It is included in the Decatur, Illinois Metropolitan Statistical Area.
The village was named in honor of Major Thomas L. Harris, who was elected and served as Major of the Fourth Illinois Regiment in the Mexican–American War, and who was afterward a member of Congress from 1849 to 1858.
The first settlers arrived in 1828 and began building log cabins and improving land around the area. 1841 saw the building of the township’s first schoolhouse, a log building, and served as both the school and as a place of worship until 1853 when the first church was built. Harristown was along the main line of the Wabash Railroad, which contributed to increased population and business.
Harristown was the first Illinois home of Abraham Lincoln. His family settled alongside the Sangamon River 4 miles south of the present village in 1830 for a little over a year before relocating due to the harsh winter and extreme sickness. Lincoln and his family constructed a log cabin and fenced in 10 acres of land, planting corn in the fenced land. During that winter, Lincoln, together with his stepmother's son, John D. Johnston, and John Hanks were hired by Denton Offutt to build a flatboat and navigate it from Beardstown, Illinois, down the Illinois and Mississippi rivers to New Orleans. It was during this time that Lincoln saw slavery first-hand for the first time.
Lincoln departed the Harristown area in the spring of 1831. Lincoln Trail Homestead State Park was created in 1904 and marks the spot where his cabin stood.
As of the census of 2000, there were 1,338 people, 511 households, and 402 families residing in the village. The racial makeup of the village was 98.88% White, 0.30% African American, 0.07% Native American, 0.07% Asian, and 0.67% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino people of any race were 0.30% of the population.
The median income for a household in the village was $42,946, and the median income for a family was $48,162. Males had a median income of $37,273 versus $23,750 for females. The per capita income for the village was $18,689. About 4.1% of families and 5.0% of the population were below the poverty line, including 9.2% of those under age 18 and 3.5% of those age 65 or over. #driving #travel #drivingtour
