minus-squareR. J. GumbyMlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-21 year agoThat’s highly subjective. I tend to think of it as i-64 and South but I’ll go as far north as i-70 Edit: on the Mississippi river side I will go as far north as Godfrey.

By either measure, that includes Calhoun and Jersey counties, northwest of Godfrey.
