Right?
- Right.
- Because I would say more north.
If you look at a map, it's actually more Northern Illinois.
And you guys are quite a bit north of that.
But yet, you all go by Central Illinois Sisters.
- Right, it's tricky.
- Yeah, why?
- So, that's a great question.
- Yeah, you're not dealing with a chimper.
Yeah.
(Maddie and Missy laughing) - Central used to be a train stop right along Route 47 where we're at.
And we kind of claimed it as a teeny tiny town.
It's my parents, my grandparents.
We have an uncle that lives there and then a couple neighbors that are like family that have lived there for 70 years with my grandparents.
And that's Central.
It's this teeny tiny town.
When they had kids, it used to be a town of 20.
Now it's about eight, but we still claim it.
So that's why we're Central Sisters.
- Does it have a Casey's, the dollar store?
- It doesn't, but it has Grandma's Breakfast.
That's better.
- That's a whole, yeah.
- That's better.
- Even better?
- Yeah.
