What's the worst part of the suburb that borders your hometown? Recently moved to Lemont and have to admit that Darien is nothing more than Woodridge's armpit. |

What if our hometown isn't a suburb? Can we get a different question? |

Hmmmm...Libertyville can be pretty clique-ish and nouveau riche...otherwise, Ft Sheridan/Highwood and Lake Bluff are pretty cool. We're pretty insulated here in old Lake Forest. |

The worst part of our neighboring town is they constantly encourage people from your hometowns to come "visit" over here. |

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean. Edit: I just looked up 'Superfund' - and if it was, then it probably still is............ |

Lincolnwood seems to have transitioned from its Jewish roots to a city populated by gaudy Chaldeans who are intent to buy the love of their nearly adult children |

Well I was born in Chicago but grew up in Gurnee and while Waukegan had some rough spots it also had it's charms so I would say the absolute worst part had to be Park City which was literally just a trailer park that nobody wanted in their town so they made their own town. |

I have seen plenty of beggars getting onto the ramp at 53 and Golf. |

Went to Ireland a couple years ago. The best beer I had a was a collaboration between Begyle and a small Irish brewery. Surprised as hell when I found a Begyle beer on tap at the Salt House in Galway. |

Best beer I had in UK/Ireland was in Galway. Galway Bay Brewery SOLID. Everything else...BAD. |
