River Grove Illinois

As I mentioned in my previous post , we took a little detour in Illinois so we can eat lunch.   

We drove around to find Raising Cane before we continue with our journey.  

With the violent crimes being shown on the news, my  son was afraid of us stopping there but River Grove Illinois looks safe so we continued driving around until we found the place we were looking for.

I've never heard of Triton College but we passed by it on our way back to the Chicago area after we ate.

According to an article I read online, River Grove actually has a lower crime rate, 15% lower than the overall crime rate in Illinois.

River Gorge  is  a scenic small town nestled along the banks of the Des Plaines River.  This place is only a few miles away from the Chicago metropolitan area.

It was a quaint little town and I'm glad we drove around there as it changed my son's perception about Illinois.
