Though there are other quaint towns to live in the Chiacgoland area, but I guess most of them slipped under the radar because they have fewer than 50K people live there.

My little bro' will be here for a visit any day now, and I'll need some sights to show him, other than corn-fed teenage farmhands getting gored to death by huge angry hunks of pot-roast (as happened when I took my sister to the rodeo!).
