Taxes closed very gas station on the southeast side years ago.ago. We have no choice but to go to Indiana for gas, Few places still sell cigarettes either. It's only natural to stock up on cigarettes while buying gas, and many stay to enjoy the smoker friendly bars and casinos. Illinois taxes,and it's draconian smoking ban (bars and casinos with NO KIDS) is a bonanza for Indiana.

Here on the southeast side of Chicago, taxes closed every gas station years ago. We have no choice but to buy gas in nearby Indiana. While there, many stock up on cigarettes at half the price of those in Chicago, and many like to stay to spend money in smoker friendly casinos and bars.

When the smoking ban started, many bars in my southeast side neighborhood removed their house phones after smokers outside would come in to report incidences they saw a block or two blocks away that had NOTHING to do with the bar. The police wrote up the bar because the call originated from the bar phone.
