I hate when people complain about this site. Like really. No one said you had to stay and comment. For crying out loud. We can post Illinois stuff even if it’s out of our MABAS divisions.

That’s a fair point, Drew. Sorry for coming off so harsh, brother.

John, I do realize the great job that these guys do with this site. I’m actually featured on this site (go check Berwyn, Norwood Park, and Oak Lawn) and I have my own Flickr account which isn’t as complex as this site but still time consuming.

Hey bud, I never complained I just stated that Marengo is far from what most would consider the Chicagoland area. And Tyler, I am well aware its in MABAS 5.

You guys do realize you’re complaining about a (great, if I do say so myself) service that you are getting for FREE right? There aren’t even ads on this website….if the admins aren’t doing what you want, go create your own website from scratch. You’ll be surprised by how hard it is.

Why the big complaint about MARENGO IL, depends where you live. You can get to MARENGO faster than driving to GURNEE from CHICAGO IL. CAF covers anything thats happens in northern illinois. An example is the big fire in BURLINGTON WI, last month.
