Milwaukee was the historic home of the Joseph Schlitz Brewing Company to which Chicagoans are eternally indebted. In Chicago's greatest hour of need after the Great Fire, Schlitz donated thousands of barrels of beer to Chicago.

"more than 200 food-serving establishments"
Hmmmm, I'll stick to restaurants. They could be including gas stations in that calculation.
On a positive note, I didn't know Orland Park was so close to Chi town - cool!

Don't worry about Orland Park. I'll take the bullet for all of you and accept an ALJ position there.

Newark and Pennsaucken are worse than advertised. They in essence all the gas fiery, unemployed, racket boys, and sad parts of Bruce Springsteen songs rolled into two places. Plus there are the zombies. Definitely, not a place you should consider moving.

Zombies are not an issue. Besides, how can you tell a zombie from a Jersey-ite? No punch line, I'm just wondering.
