Flashback 2019: Escape Illinois – Get The Hell Out Now, We Are

On October 5, 2019 I wrote Escape Illinois – Get The Hell Out Now, We Are. In July of 2020 we left.

I noted then that It Takes 3 Weeks to Escape Illinois. The reason it took three weeks is that’s how long it took to get a one-way U-Haul.

“Everyone is leaving. No one is coming,” a U-Haul agent told us.

To those who have escaped, congratulations.
