Gene & Jude's

Gene & Jude's is a popular and iconic hot dog stand in River Grove, Illinois, founded in 1946 by Chicago city worker Gene Mormino. The stand is famous for its limited approach to the Chicago-style hot dog, its toppings departing from tradition by including only mustard, onions, relish, sport peppers and fresh cut French fries placed on top, known as a Depression Dog. The menu is limited to hot dogs, double dogs, tamales and fries, and notably lacks ketchup. History In 1946 city worker Gene Mormino was at a Cubs game at Wrigley Field when Mormino decided if he added French fries to his hot dog it would give it a gratifying dose of saltiness and crunchiness. Based on that idea, he started a hot dog stand at Polk & Western Streets in Chicago. The restaurant quickly gained popularity, but three years later Mormino lost the entire stand in a card game in 1949. In 1950 Mormino gathered enough money and moved operations to the current location in River Grove, Illinois also taking in friend and co-worker Jude DeSantis. During the 50s, Gene and Jude's was a frame building and was not actually called Gene & Jude's - the sign of the stand simply said "Vienna Red Hots." Customers referred to it as "River Road Hot Dogs" or "Vienna's." During the 1950s, Gene & Jude's had a takeout window, and its drinks were sold in bottles. Gene and Jude's is still family owned and operated. In 2006, Gene's & Jude's was inducted into the Vienna Beef Hot Dog Hall of Fame. In 2011, in a competition of 64 hot dog stands across the country, it was chosen by the magazine "Every Day with Rachael Ray" and the food blog Serious Eats as the best hot dog in America.

Genesee Theatre

Genesee Theatre is a concert hall and movie palace in Waukegan, Illinois. Today, the venue has seats for 2,403 people and opened in 1927. It's both used as a vaudeville theater and cinema and hosts musical artists and shows. History In 1926, A.L. Brumund, H.C. Burnett, and D.T. Webb bought land at the corner of Genesee and Clayton Streets for $130,000. Their wish was to create a community center for Waukegan that provided high-quality entertainments as well as commercial and living spaces. After a year and a half and a million dollars later they had created a luxurious movie palace open to the public. Flourishing growth in this city north of Chicago, justified the building of a deluxe and luxurious movie theater that was unparalleled at the time throughout most of the country. The construction of the theatre began in September 1927. Waukegan contractor Alva Weeks and Chicago Architect Edward P. Steinberg were hired to construct the theatre. Steinberg had just built the BelPark and State theatres in Chicago, Illinois. No expense was spared in the construction of the theatre. The façade, on Genesee Street, was built from terracotta and pressed brick in ornate design. Inside the lobby hanged a luxurious chandelier. The interior is Spanish Renaissance style using Caen stone. A large dome in the center of the auditorium was made from hammered silver. Over 1200 yards of tapestry fabric, several tons of marble from the Carrera quarries in Italy, and lighting throughout the Theatre combine to make it the most lavish building in Waukegan. It originally closed in 1989 but re-opened in 2004 following a $23 million renovation. Despite the changes to the Theatre, the historic integrity of the Genesee has stood the test of time. From the street and within its walls, the Genesee Theatre is reminiscent of the hope and beauty of the early 20th century and remains a center of the Waukegan community. Soulja Boy shot part of his music video for "Donk", during a performance in the theatre. Morrissey shot part of the video for his single "I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris" during a 2007 performance at the theater. Ringo Starr recorded a PBS special in this theater.

Geneva station (Illinois)

Geneva is a Metra commuter railroad station in Geneva, Illinois, served by Metra's Union Pacific West Line. The station is 35.5 miles (57.1 km) away from Ogilvie Transportation Center. In Metra's zone-based fare structure, Geneva is in zone 4. As of 2018, Geneva is the 14th busiest of the 236 non-downtown stations in the Metra system, with an average of 1,742 weekday boardings. Unless otherwise announced, inbound trains use the north platform and outbound trains use the south platform. As of September 8, 2025, Geneva is served by 56 trains (28 in each direction) on weekdays, by all 20 trains (10 in each direction) on Saturdays, and by all 18 trains (nine in each direction) on Sundays and holidays. On weekdays, three inbound trains originate here, and two outbound trains terminate here. The station consists of two side platforms and a waiting room, with a ticket agent booth staffed on weekday mornings. Trains go east to Ogilvie Transportation Center in Chicago and west to Elburn, Illinois. History Until the line's extension to Elburn on January 23, 2006, Geneva was the western terminus of the Union Pacific West Line, and half of the weekend trains started at West Chicago. Since then, all of those trains were moved to Elburn, leaving all weekend trains to serve Geneva. Geneva was the last station on the line to not be situated on a triple-tracked section. In 2022, the Union Pacific Railroad began construction on a third track throughout Geneva. Construction was originally slated to conclude in 2024, but the project was completed in 2025. This resulted in the middle track at the station losing access to a platform, and this track is now solely used by Metra trains that do not stop at the station as well as Union Pacific freight trains.

Geneva Community High School

Geneva Community High School, or GHS, is a public high school located in Geneva, Illinois, a western suburb of Chicago, Illinois, in the United States. It is part of Geneva Community Unit School District 304. History The history of academics dates back to 1876 when the first Geneva High School graduating class consisted of two students. The first building in which classes were held was located at 22 South Third Street in Geneva's downtown district at the site of the current post office. The school was moved to a newly constructed, then state-of-the-art building on Peyton Street in 1923, where it remained until the late 1950s. The Peyton Street facility was converted into a middle school named after Harry Coultrap, the first superintendent of the Geneva School District. After housing the middle school until 1994 and an elementary school until 2009, it was demolished in 2013. The current GHS building was opened in 1958 and was expanded in the 1970s and early 2000s. Academics In 2010, Geneva had an average composite ACT score of 24.2, and graduated over 99% of its senior class. Geneva has made Adequate Yearly Progress on the Prairie State Achievement Examination, a state test part of the No Child Left Behind Act. In addition, in 2010, Geneva had 106 Illinois State Scholars, which constituted 23% of the senior class. Of the 206 students taking 302 AP tests in 2010, 85% received scores of 3, 4, or 5. Athletics Geneva currently competes in the DuKane Conference and Illinois High School Association. School colors are blue and white, and teams are stylized as the Vikings, a nickname that appeared in newspapers as early as 1942, and was first used in the Gecohi, Geneva's yearbook, in 1944 (for the 1943-1944 school year). The title, Gecohi (derived from GEneva COmmunity HIgh School), was renamed the Viking in 1948. Students referred to the school as "Gecohi" as late as 1980. Geneva's traditional rival is Batavia High School. Batavia High School is located in Batavia, the neighboring town to the south. From 1913 through 2024, the Vikings and the Bulldogs of Batavia High School have faced off on the football field 106 times. The current record is 52-49-5, favoring Geneva. The Batavia-Geneva game is among the top twenty oldest football rivalries in the state of Illinois. The Geneva girls cross country team won the IHSA Class 3A state championship in 2008. The boys basketball team finished in fourth place in IHSA Class 4A in 2015. The girls basketball team won the IHSA Class 4A state title in 2017.

Gensburg-Markham Prairie

The Gensburg-Markham Prairie, also known as Markham Prairie, is a 105.6-acre (427,000 m2) high-quality tallgrass prairie located in Markham in the Chicago metropolitan area. It is part of the larger Indian Boundary Prairies managed by Northeastern Illinois University and The Nature Conservancy. Described by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources as "an unusual example of sandy loam prairie", it is a National Natural Landmark. Ecology The Gensburg-Markham Prairie dates its origins back to the closing years of the Wisconsin glaciation, when postglacial Lake Chicago deposited a large sand beach in what would later become a section of southern Cook County. The poorly drained, damp, sandy soil resisted successful farming, and early pioneer settlers left patches of tallgrass prairie grasses and forbs alone. History Much of the prairie area was annexed by the municipality of Markham, Illinois, a suburb located south of Chicago. In Illinois, annexations of this type were a precursor to real estate development. However, the prairie patch's relatively poor drainage made it less attractive to land development. Furthermore, in the years after World War II Markham became an economically troubled and relatively slow-growing community. Finally, in 1971, the Gensburg family, owners of a key 60-acre (240,000 m2) parcel at the heart of the prairie, donated the parcel to Northeastern Illinois University. The prairie's current name, Gensburg-Markham Prairie, commemorates this donation. Restoration and today At the time of donation in 1971, the Gensburg-Markham Prairie had become deeply degraded by invasive exotic plants. Decades of prairie restoration work, begun by Northeastern Illinois University's Robert Betz, have cleared away some of the brush and allowed much of the original prairie's tallgrass flora to re-establish itself. Controlled burns have played a key role in this work. The prairie was listed as an Illinois Nature Preserve in September 1980. More than 100 acres (0.40 km2) of tallgrass prairie within the larger grassland are now classified as high-quality tallgrass prairie. The grassland is owned by Northeastern Illinois University with a few small inholdings owned by the Nature Conservancy. Northeastern Illinois University manages the preserve. Characteristic tallgrass prairie fauna, such as the Henslow's sparrow, have been sighted at the prairie.

George H. Cox House

The George H. Cox House is a historic house located at 701 E. Grove St. in Bloomington, Illinois. It is considered a particularly fine example of the residential work of architect George H. Miller. History George H. Cox was secretary-treasurer and general manager of the Hungarian Roller Mill Company. The company was owned by his brother Thomas. Cox also co-owned a flour mill with William Hasenwinkle. He served on the board of the Corn Belt Bank. Architect George H. Miller designed the home in 1886 in the Queen Anne style. Cox had a close association with Miller, who designed the Corn Belt Bank. Miller also designed the Bruner building for Cox's in-laws. J. H. McGregor was selected as contractor for the $20,000 house. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 14, 1985. It is also a contributing property of the East Grove Street District. Architecture The house's front entrance is located within a circular porch supported by turned columns; the porch's roof is topped by a small balcony. An octagonal tower with stained glass windows and a bell-shaped dome is located behind the porch. A second-floor balcony with a mock half-timbered gable is partially hidden behind the right side of the tower. A small octagonal dormer, also featuring stained glass windows, is located to the left of the tower. Notes
George H. Miller House

The George H. Miller House is a historic house located at 405 W. Market St. in Bloomington, Illinois. Prominent local architect George H. Miller built the house in 1890 for himself and his family. Miller designed many new buildings in downtown Bloomington after a 1900 fire destroyed much of the area; he also served as Superintendent of U.S. Buildings and designed many federal buildings in the Midwest. Miller's house is an eclectic variation on the Queen Anne design. The house features a hexagonal tower on its southeast corner and a conical dormer projecting from the front of the multi-component roof. The front entrance is arched and flanked by columns; small recessed porches are located above the entrance and on the east side of the house. The house has several stained glass windows, including a window with Miller's name at the front entrance and a large circular window on the west side. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 20, 1978. References
George Herbert Jones Laboratory

The George Herbert Jones Laboratory is an academic building at 5747 S. Ellis Avenue in Chicago, Illinois, on the main campus of the University of Chicago. Room 405 of the building was named a National Historic Landmark in 1967; it was the site where plutonium, the first man-made element, was isolated and measured. Description and history The George Herbert Jones Laboratory is at the northwest corner of the main quadrangle of the University of Chicago campus, between East 58th and 57th Streets. It is a four-story masonry structure, built in 1928-29 as facility and instructional space for the university's staff of research chemists and graduate students in chemistry. Room 405 is a relatively non-descript chamber on the fourth floor, measuring 6 by 9 feet (1.8 m × 2.7 m), with shelves and counters lining its walls. It is accessed via a wooden door with a glass window in its upper half. As part of the Manhattan Project under the United States Department of War, University of Chicago chemists began to study the newly manufactured radioactive element, plutonium. Room 405 was the site where, for the first time on August 18, 1942, a team led by physicist Glenn Seaborg isolated a trace quantity of this new element. Measurements, performed on September 10, 1942, enabled chemists to determine the new element's atomic weight. This important step was to change the world, making possible both nuclear power and nuclear weapons. Seaborg later said of this event: "These memorable days will go down in scientific history to mark the first sight of a synthetic element, and the first isolation of a weighable amount of an artificially produced isotope of any element." The U.S. Department of Energy remediated Jones Laboratory in the 1980s by studying and removing almost all of the building's World War II-era radioactive waste. The remediation took place in 1982, 1983, and 1987. Although room 405 looks nothing like the original condition, the lobby of the laboratory maintains a collection of the specialized equipment used to perform the measurements. Although the building's basement and ground floor were significantly damaged by an explosion in 1973, Room 405 was not affected. References

Лаборатория Джона Герберта Джонса (англ. The George Herbert Jones Laboratory) ― учебный корпус в Чикаго, штат Иллинойс. Кабинет лаборатории № 405, место, где впервые был выделен химический элемент плутоний, был внесён в Национальный реестр исторических мест США в 1967 году. Описание Лаборатория Джорджа Герберта Джонса расположена в главном кампусе Чикагского университета, между 58-Ист-стрит и 57-Ист-стрит. Четырехэтажное каменное здание лаборатории было построено в 1928-1929 годах как учебное помещение для сотрудников университета. Кабинет 405 представляет собой помещение на четвертом этаже размером примерно 1,8 м на 2,7 м. Вход в кабинет осуществляется через деревянную дверь со стеклянным окном. В вестибюле лаборатории Джонса хранится коллекция специализированного оборудования, использовавшегося для проведения измерений и выделения плутония в кабинете 405. История В рамках Манхэттенского проекта химики Чикагского университета начали изучать недавно полученный радиоактивный элемент - плутоний. 18 августа 1942 года в кабинете 405 группа под руководством физика Гленна Сиборга впервые выделила новый элемент. Измерения, проведенные 10 сентября 1942 года, позволили химикам определить атомный вес плутония. Этот шаг в истории сделал возможным создание ядерной энергетики и ядерного оружия. Кабинет 405 стал объектом Национального реестра исторических мест США под номером 67000005 28 мая 1967 года. В 1973 году в здании лаборатории произошёл взрыв, затронувший подвал и первый этаж, однако кабинет 405 не пострадал. В 1980-х годах Министерство энергетики США провело обработку лаборатории Джона Джонса, устранив практически все радиоактивные отходы времён Второй Мировой войны в здании.

George Rogers Clark National Historical Park

Le George Rogers Clark National Historical Park est un parc historique national situé dans la ville de Vincennes, dans l'Indiana aux États-Unis. Plus précisément, le parc est situé sur les rives de la rivière Wabash sur ce que l'on croit être le site du Fort Sackville (Fort Vincennes). Un mémorial y a été construit sur l'autorisation du président Calvin Coolidge et a été inauguré par le président Franklin Delano Roosevelt en 1936. Lors d'une campagne militaire, le lieutenant-colonel George Rogers Clark, frère aîné de William Clark, et ses pionniers ont capturé le Fort Sackville et le lieutenant-gouverneur britannique Henry Hamilton le 25 février 1779. La marche héroïque des hommes de Clark de Kaskaskia sur le fleuve Mississippi à la mi-hiver et la victoire qui suivit sur les Britanniques demeurent l'un des grands exploits de la révolution américaine. En 1966, l'État de l'Indiana a transféré la charge du site au National Park Service.
