I used to work at Record City in Northbrook, and whenever Harry Belafonte would play at Ravinia, the class trip would be for all the folks to go, get drunk, and be rowdy to folks with picnic setups. As I never drank, I only got to witness the fun.
So, true statement.

Incredible photos. I've seen this fox in my neighborhood but never this close.
Most red foxes are, well, red, or probably more accurately, orange or rust-colored. But a small number are all or mostly black, the result of melanin levels that impact pigmentation.

Talk to my parents, who live in Northbrook, two major things:
1. There are two businesses, the Bean Bar and Ace Hardware that are considered community staples and people don't want to get rid of them
2. Regular worries about traffic, parking etc.
1 makes sense and 2 is nonsense
