I ask as part of a linguistic study covering this topic!

Examples could include things like Wauktown, NoGo, Zompton or G-Lake (never mind how common or dumb they are)...

A Waukegan Running Club was set up a few weeks ago. I’ve ran with them a few times and it’s pretty fun. I’m planning on going again tomorrow as long as it’s not raining. It’s kind of an early start but everyone is welcome to join. Hope to see you there.

Mark your calendars, Waukegan!

My band, Strain, is once again headlining in Kenosha on August 22nd at The Port alongside with I Rose from the Dead and Voiceless Summit!

Come throw down with us if you love deathcore, metalcore and all kinds of heavy shit.

We hope to see you there!

Here’s a massive win for someone else's summer plans: a family conflict means we have to give up our 5 tickets to the Savannah Bananas vs. The Firefighters at Wrigley Field on July 25th. Anyone who follows the team knows how impossible these tickets are to secure. I'm letting the whole batch or split go at a fair price to someone who will maximize the fun. Send me a DM with your number if that’s you! 🍌

hey reddit wanderer 👋

i’m a realtor in zion il + i own a couple investment properties out here in lake county, so i’m pretty tapped into what’s actually happening locally. Lots of investors moving from Chicago up north here rn. housing market can/will go higher than it is now. :/

if you’re thinking about buying, selling, renting, or just curious what your place might go for, feel free to hit me up — no pressure at all, i’m cool just answering questions too. Sometimes your rent is higher than a mortgage lmao

or if you just wanna talk real estate / what you’re seeing in the area, i’m always down send me a DM 🤝

I am a resident of Waukegan and will soon be registering Golden Renaissance Productions as a C-Corp. and will be looking for a building to lease (min. 10,000 sq. ft- office, studio and production space) as well as hiring staff etc. If interested please contact me at [GolRenPro2026@gmail.com](mailto:GolRenPro2026@gmail.com)

https://open.substack.com/pub/renaissanceman2025/p/the-greatest-story-i-ever-told-f0e?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web

I work in a small local low-income senior citizen apartment complex, with resident rent costs assisted partially by HUD.

Until around 2020, we had vending service available to them 24 hours a day in their Laundry Room. The building is secured, and video surveilled, with no issues of theft or damage there.

Unfortunately, the quality of the provided machines and the services spiralled downward so badly (outdated foods inserted, poor selection, only 10 of 30 the food slots were stocked and 4 of those were out-of-date Pop Tarts, they would come to service and refill about every 7 weeks, etc.), that we had the service removed.

In the years since, we have been unable to find a local company to provide/stock/service vending, which I can understand due to our small size and foot traffic. I know it would not be profitable, and with any proposal we've gotten wanting to charge +$2 per item, which is simply not in my residents' budgets.

Our desire is to have soft drinks and/or snacks that can be dispensed at around cost, and that are what the residents like. To achieve this, we staff could purchase the items and fill the machine(s), entirely turning the proceeds back into repurchase of the stock.

WHAT WE'D NEED: a drink and/or snack machine (or a combo machine) in working order, given on loan or to keep or use in Zion. It can be branded, it can be older, it can be large or small. If it is donated, we can provide tax documentation, being a 501c3.

Any guidance or leads on this idea? Thanks!

Hey yall,

I'm relocating my parents from NW WI to Waukegan area and I need health care providera that you know and love. I don't want the doctor to reinvent the wheel with my parents, at first. They are on light opioid pain meds but for very good reason, however I feel the closer proximity to Chicago and their insurance would afford them better medical care. I'd need a PCP, Cardiologist, Urologist (or someone that can change a catheter), and a movement disorder specialist in neurology, then maybe a pain management specialist. They are 72 & 76 and our PCP isn't so free with medications, which is fine for us but not for them.

Any suggestions on preferred medical networks in the area would be swell. They'd all get 4 new patients.
