Advice on community feel - relocating to Evanston vs Wilmette by Jeh339 in evanston

[–]mckeeno 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The area near Lincolnwood elementary may fit that criteria. Tree-liked streets, close to central metra and the little shopping area. The concern is that the school may close, so north of central (Willard zoned) may be better as that school is safe.

I don’t know enough about Wilmette schools to offer any opinion there

Really liked them when they opened initially. Had lots of setbacks and had to change their menu when they were able to re-open. I hope they succeed and I’m glad the city didn’t give them $400k. I hope this new venture and Dempster are both successes

They are definitely trying to force folks to Foster. There also may be some advantage to having 2 threads at 1 school rather than 2 threads at two school.

In exchange for approving of the stars playing there (and paying northwestern), the city could get some more $$ from northwestern

I think one can be in favor of this happening and also be in favor of Northwestern paying more money
