I already sent a complaint to the DH editors for not including Parkside and his estate. You got to love having a bank and gas station as icons.

What comes to mind when you think of Lakemoor? Fishing at Lily Lake? Carnival rides and eats at Lakemoor Fest in August? The future site of a Woodman's store at the corner of Illinois Route 120 and U.S. Route 12?
Much of modern Lakemoor, which straddles McHenry and Lake counties, was the former community of Lily Lake, which incorporated in 1938 and dissolved in 1942. Lakemoor's current population is 6,017, and the village was incorporated in 1953, minus land to the west which remained unincorporated as Lilymoor.
About 30,000 vehicles a day travel on Route 120 past Lily Lake, the village's signature feature and an early draw that brought vacationers and developers to town in the 1920s.
Although a large portion of Lakemoor is residential, the village's motto, "Progress Through Planning," is evident in the newer businesses along Route 120 and the commitment of Woodman's to build a large grocery store and other businesses at a key corner.
Be sure to look for a new "Icons of ..." town gallery every Sunday at dailyherald.com/galleries and on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. On our social media sites, share your favorite Lakemoor photos with us by using #shareyoursuburb. Take a look around and let us know which icons are special to you. Which ones stir a memory for you? Where do you love to go in town?
