Lake Forest station (Milwaukee District)

Lake Forest is a railroad station in Lake Forest, Illinois, served by Metra's Milwaukee District North Line. The station is located on 10205 North Waukegan Road (IL 43), and is 28.4 miles (45.7 km) away from Chicago Union Station, the southern terminus of the line. In Metra's zone-based fare system, Lake Forest is in zone 4. As of 2018, Lake Forest is the 82nd busiest of Metra's 236 non-downtown stations, with an average of 607 weekday boardings. As of February 15, 2024, Lake Forest is served by 45 trains (21 inbound, 24 outbound) 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. Four inbound trains originate here, and four outbound trains terminate here, on weekdays. Additionally, one inbound train originates from here with one outbound train terminating here on Saturdays. Another Lake Forest station exists along the Union Pacific North Line east of this station. Therefore, this station is sometimes referred to as West Lake Forest to differentiate the two. No bus connections exist here, nor is there any connection to the East Lake Forest station. However parking is available along Telegraph Road along the west side of the tracks, and the station is accessible from North Waukegan Road through Settler's Square on the east side of the tracks. Lake Forest is the northernmost Metra station to be located on the C&M Subdivision, and serves as an emergency stop for Amtrak's Empire Builder, Borealis, and Hiawatha trains. Since 2010, Amtrak has had plans for its Hiawatha trains to stop at Lake Forest, but as of 2026 has yet to come to fruition. Metra has proposed the construction of crossovers at Lake Forest to make the station better suited to turning trains around.

Ebenezer Missionary Baptist Church (Chicago)

The Ebenezer Missionary Baptist Church is a historic church at 4501 S. Vincennes Avenue in the Grand Boulevard community area of Chicago, Illinois. Built in 1899, the building was originally a synagogue for the Isaiah Temple congregation. Architect Dankmar Adler, who partnered with Louis Sullivan to build many of Chicago's early skyscrapers, designed the Neoclassical building; Adler was the son of a rabbi, and he designed several other synagogues in Chicago. African-American settlement changed the demographics of the neighborhood in the early twentieth century, and the Isaiah Temple congregation sold the building to the black Ebenezer Missionary Baptist Church congregation in 1921. The first gospel choir was formed in the church in 1931, and its leaders Thomas A. Dorsey, Theodore Frye, and Roberta Martin were responsible for popularizing gospel music in Chicago's black churches. The church's choir helped launch the careers of many prominent gospel musicians, including Mahalia Jackson, Sallie Martin, and Dinah Washington; rock and roll pioneer Bo Diddley also performed in the church's orchestra. The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 24, 2016. References
Lake Opeka

Lake Opeka is a small, 40 acres (16 ha) lake in Des Plaines, Illinois. It is located in the Des Plaines Park District's 76-acre Lake Park. The man-made lake was created out of what had been farmland to provide dirt for the construction of nearby Interstate 90 (the Jane Addams Tollway). According to a sign at Lake Park, it took two years for 2 million gallons of spring-fed water to fill the lake. After the highway was completed, the Des Plaines Park District acquired 60 acres including the new lake for $1 in 1957, and opened Lake Park in 1961. In subsequent years, the park district acquired several parcels of land that had been owned by Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, which was located on the northern bank of the lake. In 2021, the church closed and sold its building to the park district. The building was converted into a restaurant, which opened in 2023. Recreation Lake Park surrounds Lake Opeka and offers outdoor recreation as well as an 18-hole par-3 golf course. Jogging paths run around the east side of the park, where a band shelter is located amongst picnic tables and grills, exercise stations and a playground. The southern end has a volleyball sand pit. Fishing is allowed. Bass, bluegill and occasional northern pike are caught. There are small sailboats and paddleboats using the lake. Many ducks are on the water, some large carp and occasional turtles. 460 man-hours were spent removing submerged and surface vegetation from the lake, to prevent its becoming a threat to aquatic life (due to its using up the oxygen supply when decomposing). The vegetation consisted of the native slender naiad (Najas flexilis), and an excessive amount of filamentous algae. Memorials at Lake Park Lake Park is home to a Memorial Pavilion, which includes several veterans memorials honoring servicemembers from Des Plaines from the Civil War until today. On the south end of the park is a memorial to American Airlines Flight 191. On May 25, 1979, a DC-10 crashed shortly after takeoff into an open field about 1¾ miles west of this memorial. The crash killed 271 passengers and two people on the ground, making it the deadliest aviation accident (not including those caused by terrorism) in American history. The memorial to the crash was erected in 2011. References External links Lake Park at Des Plaines Park District

Lakes Community High School

Lakes Community High School, or LCHS, is a public four-year high school located in Lake Villa, Illinois, a northern suburb of Chicago, Illinois, in the United States. It is part of Community High School District 117, which also includes Antioch Community High School. History Lakes Community High School opened to 600 freshman and sophomore students on August 23, 2004. Voters approved the bond referendum to construct a second high school for District 117 in 2000. Construction began in 2001 on both the high school and the Antioch-Lake Villa Township Center, which contains offices and meeting space for district operations. Work continued on schedule and under budget until the school's completion in August 2004. In the spring of 2003, the board of education selected the school's name, mascot (Eagles) and colors (royal blue, white, red) from suggestions made by community members. At the same time, the district changed its name to Community High School District 117. Attendance boundaries were determined in April 2003. Students living in the 60046 ZIP code would attend Lakes, as well as those living in homes nearby. Initially all District 117 freshmen were to attend Lakes for 2004–2005, but in December 2003 the board of education revised the plan, keeping all students at the high schools they would eventually graduate from. The class of 2007 was the only class to be split when Lakes opened. Summer school classes were held at Lakes during June and July 2004, and Gavin grade school students made use of classrooms in the southernmost wing for 15 months starting in the spring of 2004. Formal dedication ceremonies were held on June 12, 2004. While operating as a separate high school, Lakes shared its athletic program with Antioch Community High School during its first year. Lakes became a member of the North Suburban Conference - Prairie Division in the fall of 2005 and competed on its own with a full complement of varsity and sub-varsity teams. Notable alumni T. J. Edwards (born 1996), American Football Player for Chicago Bears Kyle Rittenhouse (born 2003), accused of the Kenosha unrest shooting, attended for one term from 2017-18 before dropping out D. J.

Lakewood Balmoral Historic District

The Lakewood Balmoral Historic District is a historic district in the Edgewater community area of Chicago, Illinois. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 12, 1999. The district covers an area of about 63 acres (0.25 km2); its boundaries are Magnolia Avenue to the east, Wayne Avenue to the west, Foster Avenue to the south, and Bryn Mawr Avenue to the north. The area is easily accessible from the Berwyn station on the Chicago "L" Red Line. History John Lewis Cochran, the first major developer in the Edgewater area, purchased the land which makes up the Lakewood Balmoral district in 1890. Known as Cochran's Third Addition to Edgewater, the region was marketed to middle-class families, as opposed to the Edgewater lakefront, which was mostly mansions at the time. Many of the streets in the district were named by Cochran. Berwyn Avenue, Bryn Mawr Avenue and Wayne Avenue were named after stations on the Main Line running north of his native Philadelphia. Catalpa Avenue was named after a street in Philadelphia, Lakewood Avenue after the town of Lakewood, New Jersey, and Balmoral—a nod to Cochran's Scottish ancestry—after Balmoral Castle in Scotland. The Lakewood Balmoral district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. In 1999, it included 490 buildings deemed to contribute to the historic character of the area.

Lambs Farm

Lambs Farm is a non-profit organization near Libertyville, Illinois, that provides vocational and residential services for over 250 adults with developmental disabilities. Located on a 72-acre (290,000 m2) campus, Lambs Farm includes several family attractions, such as a petting zoo, a pet shop, a miniature golf course, several small amusement rides, a restaurant, a thrift shop, a country store and a bakery. Lambs Farm community members work at these attractions, or at a nearby vocational center. Lambs Farm was formed in the 1960s by Corrine Owen and Robert Terese. Owen and Terese had been teaching at a school for adults with developmental disabilities, and were discouraged by the limited opportunities available to such people. In 1961, they opened a pet store near Chicago's Gold Coast and employed twelve of their students, who enthusiastically helped tend to the animals. Four years later, Owen and Therese acquired a farm near Libertyville with the help of W. Clement Stone and began developing the current Lambs Farm facility. By the late 1980s, Lambs Farm was hosting over 300,000 visitors a year, making it the third most popular attraction in Lake County, Illinois (behind Great America and the Ravinia Festival). The farm takes its name from John 21:15, in which Jesus tells St. Peter, "Feed my lambs." Notes External links Lambs Farm
