ST. LOUIS HAS CRIME.

I had three of my uncles get jumped during Mardi Gras a few years ago. Apparently it's the worst crime city in the U.S. now.

No. 1: St. Louis, Mo.

Murder: 5
Rape: 32

I'd go -- especially if it was on a weekend!
Closer to Michigan, the better :)

Here's a list that I would probably be able to go to (in order of likelihood):

Rockford, IL
Quad Cities, IL/IA (preferably Davenport on the Iowa side)
Chicago, IL
Madison, WI
St. Louis, MO
Champaign-Urbana, IL
Peoria, IL

Some that are possible for me to go to, but very unlikely (again in order of likelihood):

Indianapolis, IN
Detroit, MI
Kansas City, MO

I can't promise an Indy meetup. Basically it would HAVE to happen over the summer or it definitely isn't going to happen for me, and even if it was over the summer I couldn't promise anything.

If it was Chicago over my spring break, or any of those other places during the summer, sure, I could do it. But Indy ain't an easy drive and I don't know anyone in the area.
