Kankakee

In Illinois there are quite a few small cities, ranging in size from 100,000 to 500,000 population. They all have downtowns with some large buildings, some institutions of higher learning, outlying towns and farm areas, mass transit, a variety of recreation. Kankakee is such a place. The area is over 100,000 population, has beautiful homes and churches, up to date medical facilities, many restaurants and nightclubs, festivals, manufacturing centers, entertainment, a courthouse, business districts, even a daily newspaper and local radio stations. Also and interstate highway and railroad commuting. This book describes some of the history of Kankakee and also a lot of the present. Every city has problems and so does Kankakee. It seems that many of those problems could be alleviated with an upturn in America's economy. Some jobs for people to pay their way and pay taxes for the benefits of living in this place. It has the advantages of city life and also the accessibility to rural life, including its special resource the Kankakee River. There is some crime in Kankakee, but not enough to chase homeowners and buyers away. The air seems clean and the neighborhoods are quiet. The people are polite and the kids seem well-behaved. A step into the not distant past. The material here is written in verse form because it seems to me to be easier to read and understand. Kankakee is a very special place. Follow along with me and enjoy your visit here
