[QUOTE="jmilt7, post: 1516582, member: 11363"] Agree, and in my case, Waukegan (never thought I would end up here after trying to get away so many times). When I grew up (60s/70s) Waukegan (along with Elgin, Aurora, Joliet and maybe Gary, all about 40 miles from downtown Chicago) were considered satellite cities, not suburbs. They had their own economies, major downtowns, and not that many people commuted into Chicago for jobs. I could go on but I already feel your eyes glaze over. Anyway, nowadays these satellites may be considered to belong to the suburbs category while cities like Rockford are the new satellite cities? I don't know. So am I a suburb or Northern Illinois town? [/QUOTE]
