The natives consider anything roughly south of I-64 to be "Southern Illinois", all this stems from that part of the state trying to succeed from the Union during the war. Olive Branch is Southern Illinois for sure, and I've eaten at the Goose Pit myself in years past. I don't believe it's there anymore, a lot of the goose hunting down there has fallen off so many of the spots we all remember have closed. Seems like I heard it had burned down and they never rebuilt.

P.S. Is that a business card in the last pic? I collect stuff like that from Southern Illinois so am always curious.
