I’m friends with Santa, and he’s a pretty generous guy. But we all face an annual review, and instead of presents, some of us are gonna get coal. Some entire towns might be getting coal this year. Here are eight Illinois towns that are on Santa’s naughty list.
1. Chicago
Crime, shootings, corruption allegations, shootings by police--just another year? This definitely does not make Santa happy.
2. Champaign
The university certainly weathered some storms this past year, with an academic freedom case and an issue with the an athletic director--some people have been naughty this year.
3. Rockford
We keep hoping that Rockford will finally turn a corner, but the crime and criminals just keep coming. Those stockings will be full of coal.
4. Springfield
People can't get along--what's new? Santa is not going to like that they would not pay out people their lotto winnings. Bad Springfield, bad.
5. Harvey
"Bad boys, bad boys, what you gonna do?" is a popular song in Harvey. Unfortunately, crime is commonplace.
6. Centralia
I didn't know how big of a business meth was in Illinois, but we are near the top in the nation in production. This year, over 20 individuals were arrested in conjunction with meth production.
7. Loves Park
Loves Park has been ranked the drunkest city in Illinois. Hey a drink every once in a while is probably a good thing, but anything in excess is probably not a good idea.
8. Decatur
It's one thing to drunk, but it's quite another to then get behind a wheel. The town of Decatur had the most DUI arrests in Illinois.
Do you think your town should be on the naughty list? Let us know in the comments.
