 We have safety. Our crime rates are relatively low to just about every metropolitan area that you would find. Then what we have also is our outdoor activities. We have a beautiful area here. We have college sports out of Southern Illinois University. And if you want professional sports, hop in your car and two hours away you'd be in St. Louis. Southern Illinois is a great place to live, work, and do business. A message from your friends at River Radio in partnership with SI Now.
