I agree with you. Ford Heights is also the poorest city in the United States. |

Some feel Glencoe has the most snobs. Its always trying to catch up with Winnetka & Kenilworth, but doesn't quite get there. |

1) Waukegan
2) Elgin
3) Round Lake
These towns have become third world immigrant communities...

Well, I don't mean to throw a skunk into a garden party but this sounds like cyber-slumming to me. Why have a contest to mention the worst areas? To feel superior? Because you might be on your way there to visit friends and co-workers and you want to be warned of bad spots?
Or to engage in some type of voyeurism?

Glencoe and Winnetka have always been equal IMO. Per Capita income favors Glencoe and median income favors Winnetka, I have never heard anything else that might involve each other being competitive.

Winnetka isn't competitive with Glencoe. Glencoe residents bashing Winnetka and claiming they are snobs might indicate a bit of an inferiority complex.
According to the 2000 US census, Winnetka beats Glencoe slightly in income, as well as significantly in home values, but who really cares.

Not per capita which is a true measure of wealth. Which is prettier.......hmmm.......which is more lush? I take Glencoe, but I love the Winnetka Ravines and Northwest Winnetka. They both touch Glencoe!
