While Southern Illinois is considered by people from Chicago to be anything south of I-80, Southern Illinois is pretty much anything south of Saint Louis. Highway 50 divides the lower tip of Illinois from the rest of the corn fields (and Chicago) and it starts across the river from Saint Louis so pretty much anything south of Highway 50 on a map is Southern Illinois. Cities in Southern Illinois include Belleville, East Saint Louis, Edwardsville, Carbondale, and not really much else.
Yuppies often miss, however, the great city/empire of O'Fallon, known for absolutely nothing, but undeniably a better place to hide from the world and die than anywhere in the Metro-East. Having left the hunter-gatherer phase some 15 years ago, O'Fallon serves as the Midwest's gate into the 21st century.
If you are from Southern Illinois, there is a big chance you are a Stinky Charles.
