I live in a small town in the Southern part of the country.
- And my town is so small that we have less than a thousand people living in it.
It’s a farming town and we are known for our berries and fruit farms. My daughter Mia hated living here, so the first chance she got, she left and moved to a big city. She ended up moving to Chicago with a few of her friends, and I have yet to visit her. I don’t enjoy being in cities that big, but Mia was able to convince me to visit. I told her that I would be staying outside of the city. Thankfully, I was able to find a hotel close by in Lansing, IL. It’s a small suburb outside of Chicago, and it has some small town charm. The town was amazing, and the hotel was very nice. I did have an issue with the air conditioning though. When I arrived, the room was quite hot even though the weather was beautiful outside. I called the front desk to report the issue with the A/C. In no time, there was a maintenance man knocking at the door ready to fix the broken unit. Unfortunately, he was unable to, so I was moved to a different room. The second room was amazing because the hotel staff upgraded me to one of their suites, due to the inconvenience. And the air conditioner worked perfectly fine in the new room. All the staff was so nice and welcoming, and they made me feel at home. Perhaps part of the small town charm of Lansing, IL.
