Illinois Relocation
Useless facts about Illinois:
- Illinois has the highest number of personalized license plates than any other state. (No wonder we're always playing the "Guess what the license plate means" game)!
- The World's Largest Catsup Bottle stands proudly next to Route 159, just south of downtown Collinsville, Illinois. This unique 170 foot tall water tower was built in 1949 by W.E. Caldwell Company for G.S. Suppiger catsup bottling plant. In 1995, due to the efforts of the Catsup Bottle Preservation Group, this piece of local history was saved from demolition and beautifully preserved to its original appearance.
- In Muddy, Illilnois, the post office measures only 7 1/2 by 10 1/2 feet, about the size of a garden shed. If it wasn't for a sign hanging above the door stating, "U.S. Post Office, Muddy, IL 62965," finding the tiny, wooden building could be difficult. It is believed to be one of the smallest post offices in the United States.
- Roger Ebert won the 1959 Illinois High School Association State Speech competition in Radio.
