I am not a crackpot.

I say Chicago should finally get to eat Norridge and Harwood Heights so that there's not that stupid hole in the northwest side anymore. For the third one, get rid of, I dunno, either Lakemoor or Lilymoor. Merge them. I always confuse the two, anyway.

Come to think of it, we don't need Schaumburg and Hoffman Estates, either.

Mt Prospect and Prospect Heights can easily be combined into Mt. Prospect Heights. If the geographers are feeling extra badass they could throw Arlington Hts in there too.

You could also combine Mettawa, Lincolnshire and Riverwoods and still not get a 12,000 population.

There are a lot of mini-suburbs mixed about the larger ones...those could be absorbed.

Long Grove into Buffalo Grove...

Hanover Park & Streamwood into Bartlett (then burn the entire place down)

Do the same with Greater Joliet...

Wheaton can absorb Winfield.


Suburbs are not like paper towels. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Dum-dum silly goose. :lol: :lol:

One of these is not like the others....

The first part is good...not the second part.

Arlington Heights is a much nicer suburb, and the population of AH alone is greater than the population of both Mt. Prospect and Prospect Heights combined.

edit: Shall I use assimilate? I think phrasing with absorb fit the situation better.


Arlington Heights is more like Park Ridge. People move there and think they've "arrived" when they really haven't. Des Plaines is better grouped with Mt. Prospect and Prospect Heights than Arlington.

We can combine Palos heights, hills, and park


Combine Midlothian Crest Wood and Robbins into Middle RobinWood


Orland Hills, Orland Park, and Tinley Park can be Ortinley Park


Give all the border burbs to Indiana

Norridge & Harwood Heights are pretty close to home for me, CH. I don't understand it either.

I don't get that vibe from Arlington Heights as there are too many modest homes and apartment complexes to have that attitude. Sure there are some neighborhoods where that attitude definitely exists.

I agree with suggestion to combine Prospects with Des Plaines. That's a better fit.

I actually agree with that, too. :D

A person that is not familiar with that area would get extremely lost, especially when riding down Montrose or Forest Preserve Dr where the streets turn into different streets a block away.

Crest Hill is a made-up place that features an auto repair shop, a Menards, and Marchelloni Pizza.

could probably merge the north shore from between north of evanston and south of waukegan into one lower class despising entity with Dr. Ken's home being annexed to evanston as a lighthouse of liberalism

Combine West Dundee and East Dundee, and make it Dundee.

Elgin can eat South Elgin.

All of the Barrington cities (Barrington Hills, Barrington Center, Barrington Woods, South Barrington, Lake Barrington) can all be part of Barrington.
