Around the Neighborhood
General
Wheeling, Illinois, is a diverse community of nearly 40,000 people, located about 25 miles northwest of the Chicago Loop, west of the Tri-State Tollway, just past Prospect Heights, and just shy of Buffalo Grove. The village contains a little of everything -- single-family homes, condominiums, apartments, manufacturing industries, corporate headquarters, shopping centers, restaurants of all types, public schools, abundant forest preserves, and the Chicago Executive Airport (formerly Palwaukee Municipal Airport), which is the third busiest in the state. Commuters enjoy easy access to Interstate-294 and the convenience of a Metra station. Wheeling was a favored overnight rest stop for folks traveling along Milwaukee Avenue between Illinois and Wisconsin on horse-and-buggy days. The taverns and inns that served these travelers gradually grew into “restaurant row,” which remains a source of pride for the locals today.
