Around 2000 I went to Freeport IL on business for Honeywell. At that point it my life I had never been in a town so small. Totally blew me away. I remember I got a parking ticket downtown — for $1.50. Coming from NYC I thought a parking ticket for $1.50 was hysterical. I remember I saved it for years.
