I got a good laugh out of this, but I would suggest not drawing any serious conclusions about what Roadsnacks just named the most boring place in Illinois. This is the street view from Google Maps of the place they're talking about.

The "boring" (air quoting for a reason) place in Illinois they say is Manhattan. What makes Manhattan, Illinois such a yawn place? They seem to think marriage is boring. Hmm. Let's take another look at Manhattan from a different view.

Last time I checked, having a boat dock and/or pier in your backyard was the opposite of boring. Am I right?

I've actually exchanged notes with Nick, one of the main content guys at Roadsnacks, before and he's a funny guy who finds unique things to share. While I did chuckle a bit at the premise of marriage being boring, I'm gonna file this one under the file of where the internet got a theory completely wrong.

See what I did there, Manhattan, Illinois? I have your back. Doubting this is gonna win me an invite to hang out on their sweet lake piers though.
