A Step Back.

So, this was a little BBQ joint by Anna, IL we hit while wandering around Southern Illinois last month. This place had rave reviews on google places, but I wasn&amp;#8217;t too impressed. Inside the small dining room area, we stuck out quite a bit. Lots of Cowboy Hats and suspicious glances. Interestingly enough, through some research my wife was doing for a museum her firm is designing, we found out that Anna, Illinois is a sundown town. There were lots of sundown towns in Illinois. These towns were notable for signs on the main&nbsp;thoroughfares coming into town making blacks aware that they weren&amp;#8217;t welcome in town after nightfall, and if they were caught what was to happen to them would be their own fault. Although you&amp;#8217;d be hard pressed to find this history anywhere in Anna, the town&amp;#8217;s name is derived from the phrase, &amp;#8220;Ain&amp;#8217;t No Niggers Allowed&amp;#8221;. I felt sick driving through the city center. &nbsp;&nbsp;
