I grew up in Niles, IL. Has it changed much in the past 20yrs?

Is Nick Blase still mayor?

Is Golf Mill still "the mall"?

Do kids still "cruise" Milwaukee Avenue in their muscle cars?

What else has changed?

Haven't been back much since I left...

Niles has a new library, new municipal building, new everything in terms of government infrastructure, and a kick ass Filipino ice cream shop with exotic ice cream flavors (mmmmm, exotic ice cream flavors). Kids sometimes still cruise Milwaukee, but most are taking Oakton st. to go to Evanston now. I don't know who the hell the mayor is and Golf Mill is still a mall, but definitely not "The Mall." Old Orchard is the new "THE MALL."
