Being alone is a serious matter. I know because I've been there. There's one city in Illinois that has just been recognized as a complete loner, the 2nd loneliest city in America.
I find it a bit ironic (and sad) that few states in America have more people that live alone than Illinois. So many people, yet so many that live by themselves and that's a cause for concern.
I've seen the numbers, but I am having a real hard time believing this. There is shocking data that seems to prove that a Missouri place is one of the top 3 loneliest in America. Say it ain't so.
