We've all pondered on what our 3 wishes would be at some point -- As a fellow Illinoisan, I can confidently say these are 3 things that I think most of us who live here would wish for.
3 Things That All Illinoisans Want and Wish For
Let's start with the biggest one...
#1 - That Things Weren't So Expensive
Oh my gosh, this state has become such a money sucker. I love living here, but it can certainly be difficult.
From tolls, groceries, bills and much more, it would definitely be nice if some magic person waved their wand and made things cheaper!

#2 - No More Unbearably Cold Days
Today was the first frost of the year, and I was not a happy camper having to defrost my car this morning.
Fall chill I can handle, but as soon as frost shows up it trickles its bitterness into my attitude haha! If someone could take that away, I'm sure I'm not the only Illinoisan who'd be pleased.
#3 - That People Here Were Better Drivers
Aside from the weather, people's driving is the second thing I probably complain the most about haha!
Illinoisans drive in a very... crazy, hectic, and unique type of way that scares me every day. Again, if I were able to wish away the red light running, speeding in 30 MPH areas, slowing in inappropriate areas and everything in between, I'd feel much better and have way less road rage. And I know I'm not alone on that sentiment.
