I drove from my Chicago address of 25 years to my hometown of Arlington Heights today.
My destination was the Cook County courthouse in Rolling Meadows - the city with the name that sounds like a cemetery - just across the street from where Arlington Park used to be. I got off at Euclid Avenue from Route 53 and headed east. I was curious without being morbid, but what I saw still made an impact.
The line of splendid willow trees that adorned the chute and backstretch were altered. One was broken. The rest were dying. Once beautiful, even graceful. Not now.
I cannot get out of Illinois soon enough.
