It’s time once again for our Best of the Midwest feature! Are you trying to come up with some vacation ideas that are only a quick getaway from the Chicago area? Well, John Williams has some great recommendations for your trip! Today, we head to northwestern Illinois and visit with Ken Williams, Mayor of Oregon, Illinois! Mayor Williams talks about the small town charm of Oregon, how far Oregon is from the Chicago area, the stunning rolling hills, the beautiful drive along the Rock River, the best places to eat in the area (including a place that will take you right back to the set of ‘American Graffiti’), the variety of places you can stay during your visit, the unique shopping at the antique mall, why a trip to the Nachusa Grasslands is a must, where you can see pretty fall colors, and all the events that are planned for the fall.
