[QUOTE="RockyRogue, post: 263793, member: 7185"] Ummmm....mind if I ask when you left DuPage County??? Its grown a lot in the last ten years alone! When I say 'Northern Warrenville,' I'm talking about the area around what's now Cantera (Winfield Road and Diehl Road) near I-88. I stayed OUT of that area unless I had a reason to go there. Not dangerous or anything....I just didn't go down there unless I had to. Again....there's been a LOT of construction in DuPage County in the last 10-15 years. There's a large shopping center on the southside of the town my parents live in. This was cornfields until the shopping center's construction in the late '80s or early '90s. You might be able to guess this town. On a UPS note.....the UPS hub in Addision, Illinois was constructed to serve the area it serves AND that of the Palatine Facility. In addition, I've heard stories about the originally intended size of that Hub. I was told by an old-timer that it was supposed to be closer to the size of the Denver Hub (eight centers). The County and City told UPS no way due to fire concerns. Palatine opened in 1999, I think. Also, the North-South Tollway runs less than two miles from the Addison Hub. I think the Addison Hub opened in 1979. The North-South Tollway didn't open until the early '90s, I think. I-355 connects to interstates that go all over the country. UPS was on top of things as far as I'm concerned....-Rocky [/QUOTE]
