Burden Falls Wilderness

The Burden Falls Wilderness is a 3,775-acre (15.3 km2) unit of the Shawnee National Forest. It is located in northwestern Pope County and southwestern Saline County, Illinois. The wilderness is characterized by road-less second-growth hardwood forest, punctuated by a small, seasonal waterfall on Burden Creek. Burden Falls falls 20 feet (6 m) over a sandstone ledge, and the falling creek then descends another 80 feet (25 m) in a series of cascades and cataracts. Although this is a small waterfall by the nationwide standards of the United States, Burden Falls is one of the highest waterfalls in Illinois. Unlike most of the state, Pope County and extreme southern Illinois escaped glaciation during the Ice ages, and steep slopes display the effects of lengthy erosion. Similar geological features in other regions of Illinois were ground into oblivion by the ice. Watercourses confined by sandstone ledges, of the sort found in Burden Falls Wilderness, are locally known as shut-ins. Hardwood trees in the wilderness include blackjack oak, post oak, and white oak, the state tree of Illinois. Hikers use the Burden Falls Trail, a 3.5-mile (5.5 km) pathway. The nearest town of any size is Eddyville, Illinois. The Burden Falls tract was listed as a wilderness under the Illinois Wilderness Act of 1990.

Burger King de Mattoon

Le Burger King de Mattoon est un restaurant situé à Mattoon, localité de l'État de l'Illinois, aux États-Unis. La bataille juridique qui l'a opposé au géant américain de la restauration homonyme, Burger King, avec lequel il n'a aucune affiliation, est un cas célèbre du droit relatif aux marques déposées aux États-Unis. Histoire Le restaurant Burger King de Mattoon a été fondé par Gene et Betty Hoots, un couple résidant de Mattoon. Le couple rachète le Frigid Queen, commerce de vente de glaces de l'oncle de Gene, et ouvre l'établissement en 1952. Dans les années suivant l'ouverture, le restaurant s'agrandit en investissant le garage situé derrière le restaurant ; un grill est installé, ce qui permet au restaurant de diversifier son menu et proposer des mets chauds à emporter tels que des burgers, frites à ses clients. C'est en 1959 que Gene Hoots dépose la marque Burger King au niveau de l'État de l'Illinois, et rebaptise, avec l'accord de son oncle et ancien propriétaire du lieu, le restaurant. Bataille juridique Une chaîne de restauration rapide dénommée Burger King se développe en Floride dans les années 1950. La société, baptisée Insta-Burger King à sa fondation en 1953, est renommée Burger King of Florida en 1959. La chaîne de restauration implante son premier établissement dans l'Illinois en 1961, à Skokie, et en 1967, elle compte une cinquantaine d'enseignes dans l'État. Les Hoots, propriétaires du restaurant de Mattoon, attaquent la chaîne de restauration au niveau de l'État en 1968 (Burger King of Florida, Inc. v. Hoots). Le couple, représenté par l'avocat local Mr Harlan Heller, pense alors que le dépôt de la marque au niveau de l'État leur donne la pleine exploitation de la marque sur tout le territoire de l'Illinois. Le litige est porté au fédéral devant la Cour d'appel des États-Unis pour le septième circuit, dont l'arrêt constitue un important précédent dans l'interprétation de la loi Lanham sur le droit des marques. La cour décide que, en raison du dépôt de la marque Burger King au niveau fédéral et en raison du fait que le fédéral prime sur le provincial, la chaîne de restauration de Floride a le droit d'exploiter la marque Burger King partout aux États-Unis, y compris dans l'État de l'Illinois à l'exception seule de la localité de Mattoon. Les Hoots ont le droit d'exploitation exclusif de la marque dans le périmètre de la localité de Mattoon défini par la cour, c'est-à-dire un cercle dont le centre est le restaurant des Hoots dont le rayon fait 20 miles (soit 32 kilomètres).

Elgin (Illinois)

Elgin () je město v severní Illinois, USA, rozkládající se převážně v okrese Kane County, z menší části i v okrese Cook County. Leží zhruba 65 km severozápadně od Chicaga na řece Fox River. Podle sčítání lidu v roce 2010 měl Elgin 108 188 obyvatel, což jej činí 8. největším městem Illinois a 241. největším městem USA. Zákon o přesídlení indiánů v roce 1830 a válka Černého jestřába v roce 1832 vedly k vypuzení indiánů z území, kde měli sídla a mohyly předků, což umožnilo založení Elginu. James T. Gifford a jeho bratr Hezekiah Gifford putovali z New Yorku na západ, hledaje vhodné místo k osídlení na cestě mezi Chicagem a Galenou, až narazili na místo na řece Fox River, kde bylo možné postavit most. V dubnu 1835 zde založili město, které nazvali po skotském hymnu „Elgin.“ Společnost Galena & Chicago Union Railroad zavedla v roce 1849 do města železnici a později provozovala železniční tratě po obou březích Fox River, což propojilo rozrůstající se město s Chicagem a jinými městskými centry. Elgin byl významný výrobou másla a mléčných výrobků, kterými zásoboval Chicago. Gail Borden zde v roce 1866 založil továrnu na kondenzované mléko (coby vynálezce tohoto způsobu konzervace mléka získal příslušný patent již 14. května 1853). Mléčný průmysl ustoupil do pozadí, když zde založila výrobu hodinářská společnost Elgin Watch Company. Zaměstnávala tři generace obyvatel města od druhé poloviny 19. do poloviny 20. století, kdy se stala největším dodavatelem kvalitních hodinek v USA. Továrna zastavila produkci na počátku 60. let 20. století a v roce 1965 byla zbořena. Město je známé svou historickou architekturou a památkami z viktoriánské éry, včetně některých pěkných příkladů domů ve stylu královny Anny. Dnes je Elgin jedním z nejrychleji rostoucích měst v Illinois. V červnu 2005 v listu Chicago Tribune elginský starosta Ed Schock prohlásil, že Elgin se do 40 let stane druhým největším městem v Illinois.

Burlington Rail Bridge

The Burlington Bridge is a vertical-lift railroad bridge across the Mississippi River between Burlington, Iowa, and Gulfport, Illinois, United States. It is owned by BNSF Railway and carries two tracks which are part of BNSF's Chicago–Denver main line. The current bridge is the third that has existed at the same location. The first, a single-track swing bridge constructed in iron—the first all-metal structure to cross the Mississippi—opened in 1868, in the federal reconstruction phase post the American Civil War. Built as part of the network of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad (CBQ)—commonly known as the Burlington Route—it formed an important part of the federal railroad route between Chicago and Denver. Due to increasing traffic levels, in 1893 the CBQ reconstructed the bridge as a double-track, and it was further strengthened in the 1930s to allow for heavier freight cars. The CBQ later became part of Burlington Northern Railroad in 1970, and later BNSF. Amtrak's California Zephyr crosses this bridge. On May 1, 2008, five fully loaded barges broke loose during a period of high water. One struck the bridge and became lodged under it. The bridge was closed until midday on May 2, when one track was opened after it was deemed safe. The barge was removed during the afternoon of May 3 and the other track was reopened that evening bringing the bridge back to full use to carry the dozens of trains that cross it daily. In the same year, the United States Coast Guard declared the bridge a danger to navigable traffic. This meant both that the bridge had to be replaced, and that funding for such could be eligible for federal funds. Following the passing of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, and a successful application for federal funding supported by the Coast Guard, the BNSF Railway began work to replace the bridge in late 2009. The project was split into two phases, with the lift span being built first by Ames Construction, of Burnsville, Minnesota, and the approach trusses built by the Walsh Construction Company of Chicago, Illinois. The lift span was complete and operational by February 2011, while the remainder of the bridge was not officially dedicated until October 2012.

Burton Township, McHenry County, Illinois

Burton Township is the smallest of 17 townships in McHenry County, Illinois. As of the 2020 census, its population was 4,820 and it contained 1,858 housing units. Burton Township was first settled by Englishmen in 1836 who gave it the name English Prairie. Later settlers called the township Benton, but after learning that there already was a post office and township of Benton in southern Illinois, the name was changed to Burton on December 28, 1850. Burton Township is unusually small because its first residents broke from Richmond Township to its west. The reason for this was a "Hatfields vs. McCoys" type of feud in the 1840s over alleged township mismanagement and higher taxes in Richmond. The Burton settlers opted out and even tried to have adjoining Lake County absorb them into its eastern neighbor, Antioch Township, but Antioch Township had just consolidated Cooper Township into itself, and since Burton Township was situated in another county, a special law needed to be passed in Springfield to affect that change. Geography According to the 2010 census, the township has a total area of 10.87 square miles (28.2 km2), of which 10.79 square miles (27.9 km2) (or 99.26%) is land and 0.08 square miles (0.21 km2) (or 0.74%) is water.

Bush Temple of Music

The Bush Temple of Music, at 100 West Chicago Avenue in Chicago, Illinois, was built in 1901 as the headquarters and showroom of the Bush and Gerts Piano Company, one of Chicago's leading piano companies. Designed by architect J.E.O. Pridmore, the building is an example of the importance of piano manufacturing and sales during the late 19th and early 20th centuries when Chicago was the leading piano manufacturing center in the world. The building is a rare large-scale example of French Renaissance Revival-style architecture, an unusual style in Chicago and the United States. The building's design and decorative details are unique examples of the historic revival style favored by Chicagoans in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The building was designated a Chicago Landmark on June 27, 2001. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.

Cable House

The Cable House is a Richardsonian Romanesque-style house near Michigan Avenue at 25 E. Erie St. in Chicago, Illinois, United States. The house was built in 1886 by Cobb and Frost for socialite Ransom R. Cable. It was designated a Chicago Landmark on October 2, 1991. In 1902, the house was purchased by Robert Hall McCormick for his son, Robert Hall McCormick III who was head of the McCormick Estate. The house was the accommodation for Guglielmo Marconi's visit to Chicago in 1917. McCormick III lived there with his family until 1926 when it was sold and became a funeral home. The house is located in a part of the Near North Side neighborhood west of Michigan Avenue that was once dubbed "McCormicksville," due to the concentration of McCormick family members living there within a few blocks of each other. The Cable House is currently occupied by the offices of Driehaus Capital Management, which is operated by Chicago financier, preservationist and philanthropist Richard H. Driehaus. His Richard H. Driehaus Museum is located across the intersection in the historic Edward J. Burling-designed Samuel M. Nickerson House at 40 E. Erie St. References
