Hiya! I know a lot of us are from the Chicago area, but I'm curious to know who all lives in the Northwest burbs? I live in Palatine, and it'd be cool to get to make new friends and have someone to hang out with at the next ACen. ^_^

I get that feeling too. I mean, we're like practically next door to the con, so there's gotta be others in the area. Hey NW burbs people, come out, come out, wherever you are! :P

Roselle, if you don't know where that is, it's by Itasca. If you don't know where THAT is, it's by Wood dale > Bensenville > Franklin Park > O'hare Airport.

Or I could just tell you I live 20 minutes down Meacham road from Woodfield.

I live in Woodstock now, but I used to live in Lake Zurich and McHenry. Bah... I want to live closer to the city but I love my job and I live 2 min away from it! I like to drive, so Chicago isn't that far. You just need good music (and patience for I-90 <_< )

No kidding! I just visited the LITH/Crystal Lake/Algonquin area on Friday to go bowling with my friends, and Randall Road is like box store city! Quite impressive, actually.

Route 59 in Naperville/Aurora is like that too. Yay for zoning! :rolleyes:

There's tons of stores to shop in, but my favorite store is Yumz... Frozen yogurt with all the toppings you want. *drools* :heart:
