If you never been here its rural and rather dark at night. Have a game plan or make sure you have GPS on your phone. Other than that, no complaints. Nice quiet area.

I grew up here, so none of it was really new to me. We did make sure to stop at our food places while we were there; Plum Garden, Portillos, Happy Jacks for the Ice cream, and Lou Malnati’s for the best Chicago style pizza.
