9. So, not really the heart of Dixie, but sort of the suburbs.

I'm originally from N.E. Ohio and visiting last summer I saw the confederate flag on more than one house. One was next to a Notre Dame flag (football), cause we know the South used to really love Catholics.

4. My partner's high school team was "The Pekin Chinks"

And yes, it was a little guy with a hat and a rickshaw.

Of course his trumper sister attended rallies against changing the name in the 80s. (and anti mask rallies, go figure)

7. I lived in Pekin for about a year but long after they changed the name

8. I forget which bar it is that PROUDLY displays the old mascot memorabilia.

Because of course they do.
