This is sort of a neat place to watch transportation. The Canadian National (Illinois Central) Railroad is right here. So is the Eisenhower extension ( 290 ), and even some planes going to O'Hare and Midway. At 700 feet above sea level this is one of the spots that gave Hillside its name. Location is Darmstadt Rd West of Wolf Rd and North of Harrison.

  • This particular spot (grassy area in video) was used illegally for years as a rental unit storage area. The land has always belonged to the state of Illinois but some guy just came in, fenced off lots, and rented it out for years. He got away with it until the old "bottleneck" was "fixed". The "high value" real estate was on the other side of town where the old quarry was turned into a rancid, festering, dump. that they are still trying to fix.

  • Wow, that is really some mind blowing scenery! I'll bet the property values in Hillside are very high.
