| Abe Lincoln. Swank martini club. It's easy to admire both, but
it's hard to picture them together. So it goes with Illinois, a
state split between the urban and up-to-the-minute delights of
Chicago and "downstate" (i.e., not Chicago), a place knee-deep
in Lincoln lore and other attractions that recall the Illinois
of the 1800s. They can experience the museums, shopping,
restaurants and nightlife of one of the world's premier cities
and then, in a matter of hours, move to the tranquil countryside
with its abundance of vintage architecture and historic sites.
