Literally, the only "Oblong" in the U.S.
Used to be named Henpeck, Illinois.
Itβs so small that it can't even be called a town or city, but a village.
The high school has about 140 kids. There is quite a bit of diversity of character for such a small town. However, the population is primarily white. There are maybe 5 African American students at the high school, and no Asians or Latinos at all.
When it comes to sports, the high school is pretty lame.
The only thing they've really got going for them is Cheerleading and Math Team.
Football and basketball aren't the greatest.
The elementary school is newly remodeled in 2003 and houses the preK-8th graders. The closest College is Lincoln Trail Community College in Robinson, Illinois.
The housing is fairly cheap, and there is a lot of land for new homes.
Itβs a large farming community known for the largest nighttime parade in Illinois. There are 5 options for food if you choose to eat out or get carry out: Main Street Diner, restaurant at Harmon's, and Pizza & More, and the gas stations Casey's, and Check Mart for pizza and quick food.
