In a few minutes I'll be heading out to McHenry, Illinois, to go to the McHenry Historical Society's meeting and presentation on the role of trains in the town's development.
Railroads were a huge reason pretty much every town around Chicago grew. You can trace town development right along the tracks.
Railroads were a reason for why McHenry had three "downtowns" at one time or another.
Originally, I was figuring I'd miss this presentation as we originally were going to go to Dekalb, for the NIU Spring Football Game, but it is way too cold outside to sit in the stands.
Should Be Interesting. --Cooter
