    "I take the metra and walk to work. It’s easy and about as fast in the train to Chicago as it is in a car. Going west without a car is not as doable though. "

    "Lived here for 22 years. Raised our family here. Would do it again given the chance. Great mix of people from different backgrounds and heritage. Only downfall is politically backwards and cannot get anything done in the village that’s required to stay current with infrastructure or lifestyle. "
