Any architecture friends familiar with an "Architectonics, Inc." that would've been active in the mid-1970s? I've found Tribune articles attributing the firm to designing both Northbrook Court and Louis Joliet Mall, but little else beyond false-positives.

A 900-guest fundraiser for Ravinia Festival opened Chicago's second I.Magnin, here, in 1979. The store closed in '91 after Macy's bought Magnin and exited the market; a 14-screen General Cinema was built in its place.

The existing multiplex rebranded as AMC upon acquiring bankrupt General Cinema's assets in 2002. The master plan for redeveloping Northbrook Court does not include retaining the theater, it will be one of two AMC facilities in the area likely to close in the coming years -- the other being Golf Mill

(Tipo, a maior parte dos filmes dele se passam em Shermer, Illinois, uma cidade fictícia cujo nome foi tirada de Northbrook - que já teve o nome de Shermerville - onde ele cresceu e estudou. É quase literalmente bairrista.)

Meadow & Shermer right now. I'm not able to get close enough to know what happened

Here's Jan's statement. I haven't seen one from Brad yet

NEW: State Sen. Laura Fine is out with a new ad running today on Chicago cable channels after her campaign says it raised $1.25 million in Q4 @shiakapos.bsky.social had it first in @politico.com this morning

Voice of the People! From Lenore Bernstein, Northbrook IL. "My fundamental hope is that the sycophantic members of Congress will have used their holiday break to strengthen their backbones...and remember the oath they took to uphold our Constitution."

We've got a statement from Jan (for those in the 9th district) but I don't see one from Brad (10th), at least on bsky. If he's only posting on twitter, I don't want to know about it. bsky.app/profile/scha...

Greetings from Shermerville

I went to a bunch of #teslatakedowns. My favorite memory was at the northbrook IL protest in late spring. The site is adjacent to the expressway & many of us were lining the fence, facing the road, chanting & waving. Traffic slowed as drivers took a gander at us, many honking and showing support.

Mark yr calendars, Shermerville: "Hometown is requesting an amendment to the agreement to allow construction to commence as early as April 30, 2026 but no later than July 31, 2026 and projects the store will be open no later than September 30, 2026." d2kbkoa27fdvtw.cloudfront.net/northbrook-i...

The police bulletin isn't often this foul. "due to the amount of urine over the walls, they would have to replace the drywall" www.northbrook.il.us/DocumentCent...

Heavy ICE presence has been observed at a potential checkpoint on I-294 near the Northbrook neighborhood of Chicago. This incident is part of a broader pattern of increased ICE presence at major highways, where individuals are being stopped based on their race. (12/9/25)

Anyone have more details on this? I'm hearing an officer on the scene had a long gun of some kind.

The Northbrook connection to Escape wasn't obvious to me, so I checked it out. Hilco Global is working on their liquidation.

Shermer is Northbrook. Originally known as Shermerville. Shermer Rd still runs through it.

Dinner.

Happy Thanksgiving from the black squirrel in my back yard #shermerville #fauna

Lunch.

Do we know what the sirens last night were about? FB comments (sorry, I know) suggest it was an "attack" alert, not a tornado/weather alert.

Apologies for the Meta link but… www.instagram.com/reel/DRKe1fH...

All lanes of I-94 near Northbrook were closed Thursday after a crash caused live wires to dangle over the highway, according to Illinois State Police. The highway was still shut down as of 6 p.m. Thursday.

I'm watching this one. Laura Fine is (was?) the establishment pick but hasn't been nearly as visible as DB or KA.

Will I see you there tomorrow? www.northbrookhistory.org/event/villag...

Someone in Northbrook just told me he was in Chicago. No you're not.

ICE agents in Northbrook point rifles at bystanders, try to break down door at apartment complex just north of Lake and east of Milwaukee Road. This is an almost unthinkable trespass to those of us who live in an upper middle class suburb. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/11/i...

Of the many scam reports I've read in the police bulletin, this one may be the worst: "a subject texted him regarding investing money in crypto currency … the complainant sent $250,000 - $300,000 to the account" (!!!) www.northbrook.il.us/DocumentCent...
