Growing pains.   Du Page County breaks out of Cook County's shadow to confront its own urban sprawl.   (Chicago Tribune Magazine, 10/25/1987)

 The Boom Cools, Finally (Running out of Room?)

Poor knock in vain on Du Page's door.  (9/12/1988)  Not everyone is invited to the Boom.

Hanging tough.   The last thing Henry County wants is to be the next congested and overdeveloped suburb of Chicago.  (Chicago Tribune Magazine, 10/30/1988).    Fat chance!

The Boom Continues

I can't imagine the Tribune not covering the growth in Lake County.  Maybe the articles were published on days when I didn't buy the paper.

No more double-digit growth
