Joined Atlas Obscura in 2019

I've been a fan of Atlas Obscura for a number of years, and even though I live in an obscure corner of the Illinois prairie, I would like to contribute. I live in Morton, Illinois, and work in Peoria, Illinois, and I love the weird and wonderful that this site offers to the world. Looking forward to being a part of it!
