I live in an upscale community about 35 miles southwest of downtown Chicago. My favorite amenity is a scenic 26 mile trail connecting numerous subdivisions along the route leading to the historic center of town where events are planned every season.
Living nearby are relatives of Jane Lynch (a high school classmate), Dwayne Wade, and Bernie Mac.
