Location nonsense[edit]

The article currently contains the following sentence:

Little America is about 2 miles (3.2 km) northeast of the Illinois River.

This is not only wrong, it's nonsensical. Little America is actually due north of the Illinois River, and it's due west of the river, and it's northwest of the river, depending on what direction one heads out of the community. But one of the few directions you can't go and hit the river (at least not for a very long time) is northeast. HuskyHuskie (talk) 22:26, 15 July 2011 (UTC).[reply]

The "east" part was a mistake on my part when I first wrote the article. I meant to say "northwest", which is the direction it's in perpendicular to the river. Your revision is fine, so we can leave it that way. TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation} 01:15, 16 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
