Chicago suburbs' names that start with a letter "W"
Ever notice how so many Chicago suburbs' names start with a letter W of all letters? How many can we name? Just the ones I can think of without looking at an area map are:
Winnetka
Wilmette
Westmont
Westchester
West Chicago
Western Springs
Willow Springs
Willowbrook
West Dundee
Wheaton
Winfield
Wheeling
Worth
Wayne
Whiting
Warrenville
Wadsworth
Winthrop Harbor
Woodstock (kinda iffy as a "suburb" but if it isn't now it will be soon)
Am I missing any?

I'm trying to think of others off the top of my head, and seems you have many covered.

You have all the ones I could think of, unless Wilmington counts as a suburb. Maybe in 10 years?

Wasco is another.
And I agree. When I post some suburb names, I always noticed how many started with w's.

Wow. Maybe it seemed so obvious we just assumed you'd listed it. We also forgot Wauconda, and Wonder Lake but that's probably not yet a suburb too.
Next we could list suburbs with "Lake" in their names; there's quite a few of those. |
