Don't worry, Elgin is still in Chicagoland (ie, Chicago metro area). It's not _in_ Chicago, and I'd consider it an outlying suburb, but the metro area is big. I suppose a good way to gauge is whether convenient train service is out far enough, and I think it is. (Of course, that would make Milwaukee a suburb of Chicago, which sounds pretty reasonable to me.) I'm pretty sure there are a bunch of people in Elgin who commute to Chicago, which would be another useful measure. For that matter, Valpo IN thinks it's a suburb.... Regardless, you'll be close enough to take advantage of everything, and you definitely should! -- Alan Shutko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - In a variety of flavors!
