What did you get excited about passing Normal? Watterson Towers?

Edit: vvvvvvvvv Oh god I actually like that :smith:

Some billboards, a cinema, and I think a restaurant.

So, like, buildings and signs that people actually live there.

Man, I WISH there were cows to look at. Illinois is so loving boring I got excited passing Normal just so I'd have something other than loving grass to look at.

You got a real funny way of talkin', there, boy.

A Steak 'n' Shake original, regardless of what nonsense Muffin Rhino is feeding you.

Though to be fair I have never cared much for them compared to the shakes and chili. But Shakes 'n' Chili does not have the same ring.
