Welcome to Texas. My father lived in Park Forest for many years so I spent many summers in Illinois when it was still a good place to visit. Texans know Austin is a very liberal city but in spite of the negatives, I always enjoyed my trips to Austin for good food and recreation. You will enjoy living in Texas. A smart move and, in general, a great place to earn a living.

Welcome to the forum! I grew up In Glenview. I am also a non-resident Illannoy CCL since I have to go back to Illannoy to visit family each year.

I think you will be the second IL CCL instructor in Texas.

The warnings about Austin are true, but Texas is whole lot better than Illannoy.
