"I love the fact that Elgin is a diverse city. We are not part of a “cookie-cutter” suburbia. People work, play and live here and share the differences that make us better.

I love the older homes and history as well as the great library, fitness center and shopping on Randall Road as well as the way “down town” is becoming an entertainment and dining destination."
