You could pretty much add Palos to any word and I'd guess it's real.


Yeah, it's tiny, wedged in between Niles and Des Plaines kind of. I think it's one of those towns like Wayne (another one I forgot) that specifically allows horse ownership.

A million percent yes. If you have tinted windows and/or are black, be careful traversing SW Highway.

I believe this has gotten better over the last several years. HT used to hire only part time ex-cops and security guards, most of whom were current or former HT residents.

Now they tend to hire younger guys fresh out of the academy who work on a part time basis to gain experience as a springboard to full time positions elsewhere. Not that those younger guys can't be assholes, but from what I know the problems are not as bad as they used to be.

It's basically a speed trap on Overlook Drive.

Yes, kinda. That is Airway Park along Cicero from like 88th st to 91st st. The park is either Oak Lawn proper or unincorporated Oak Lawn. Right next to Hometown, but it's not Hometown.

I delivered pizza for Grassano's over the summer so I know that area like the back of my hand.

Oak Creek is a suburb...of Milwaukee.
Pheasant Prairie, no, but Pleasant Prairie, yes, it's the nicer part of Kenosha.
Green Oaks, yes
Beechwood, no, it's the old name of Rogers Park
Indian Creek, no
Maple Grove, no
Forest View, no, it's an old Arlington Heights high school

Fun game!

North suburbs! It's up by Gurnee and Waukegan. WXLC's studios used to be in Park City.

Yeah, it's a stop on the trains to/from Fox Lake. It's a little hiccup between Morton Grove and Glenview, basically only exists as a speed trap.

Park City was once a giant trailer park. Now there are MANY low end tract homes too.

I don't think Rondout is incorporated, but yeah, it's the place where the North Line juts west to Fox Lake while the Amtrak trains go up to Milwaukee.
