I went there to visit family, I rolled through a stop sign, (that does not meet Illinois statutes) got a ticket from some security dude. The clown wouldn't even give me directions to find my destination, he was quick to point out there's no cell service. Well I'm not going to put that on the people who hosted me so I paid the ticket on the way out. What a bunch of shysters.
