HISTORY

2020 will be a year of Ray Bradbury, as the Waukeganreared author of “Fahrenheit 451,” “Something Wicked This Way Comes” and “Dandelion Wine” would have celebrated his 100th birthday.

What event made a bigger impact on Waukegan? The day the country’s most popular comedian, Jack Benny, returned in triumph to his hometown? Or the day the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Railway came to town, feeding an explosion of new manufacturing plants? The day voters decided to move the county seat to Waukegan from what is now Libertyville, or the day legendary Robert Sabonjian was elected mayor?

Taking such issues from the academic to the fun, in 2018 the Waukegan Historical Society celebrated its 50th birthday by asking residents to vote on “Waukegan’s Top 50 History Events.”

“We set it up on our website like a tournament ballot,” said Ty Rohrer, manager of cultural arts for the Waukegan Park District and supervisor of the Waukegan History Museum. “We allowed people to vote on five sets of brackets, then on the winners from each of those brackets and so on until the final winner was determined.”

So what event proved most important (or at least popular) after 5,000 votes had been cast at www.waukeganhistorical.org? “The top event was the establishment of Little Fort Trading Post on the shore of Lake Michigan in the late 1600s or early 1700s,” Rohrer said.

“The first Europeans, the French expedition led by Marquette and Joliet, had come here in 1673, and the trading post was established after that.”

When that lake shore spot became a city in the early 1800s, it at first was called “Little Fort” too. In 1849, the name was changed to “Waukegan,” based on the Algonquin tribe’s word for “trading post.”

The event that got the second-most votes, by the way, was the use of the Cory family’s

home as a stop on the Underground Railroad that smuggled escaped slaves out of the South before the Civil War. Also scoring high was the 1968 racial integration of Waukegan schools, Jack Benny’s visit in 1939, Abraham Lincoln visiting, women getting the vote and Glen Rock soda pop being bottled locally.

Rohrer said 2020 will be a year of Ray Bradbury, as the Waukegan-reared author of “Fahrenheit 451,” “Something Wicked This Way Comes” and “Dandelion Wine” would have celebrated his 100th birthday.

“That will begin on Aug. 22 of 2019 as we unveil a 13-foot-high, stainless-steel statue of Bradbury on the Waukegan Public Library grounds,” Rohrer said. “The statue will show him holding a copy of ‘Fahrenheit 451’ on top of a rocket ship. A lot of other events are planned for 2020.”

The hi-tech Ray Bradbury Experience Museum also will open on Genesee Street in 2020. It will use virtual and augmented reality to take visitors inside Bradbury’s themes of space travel, freedom of expression and comics.

A Dandelion Wine Arts festival, named after one of several Bradbury novels that refer to a fictional version of Waukegan named “Green Town,” has been held every June for 20 years.

Before Bradbury died in 2012, the community created a Bradbury Walk, guiding

guests along a walking tour through the city that stops at sites important to the artist’s life and writings.

Born Benny Kubelsky, Jack Benny lived in Waukegan from 1894 until 1912 until he left to earn fame as a star of vaudeville, radio, TV and movies.

One of the Genesee Theater’s most famous performances came in 1939 when Benny held the world premiere of his movie “Man About Town.” Rohrer said Benny never forgot where he came from and became Waukegan’s biggest advertisement as he mentioned his hometown repeatedly on his radio and TV shows.

The comedian also came back when School District 60 dedicated Jack Benny Middle School. Rohrer said Benny, who pretended to be a lousy violin player as part of his act, last visited the city as a guest performer for the first-ever performance of the Waukegan Symphony Orchestra.

Housed in an 1843 Victorian home, the Historical Society museum contains relics from 189 years of the city’s past, including a bed once slept in by a future president named Lincoln and the authentic reproduction of a typical family home in the 1870s.

RESIDENTIAL LIVING

“Lots of younger people are moving into affordable Waukegan,” said Steve Snarski.

He should know. At 29, he makes his living selling real estate in Lake County with one of the Chicago area’s biggest brokerages, @properties. But he didn’t have to move to Waukegan. He grew up in a duplex on Genesee Street, just a few doors down from a park. And after finishing college he moved in across the street from another park, within walking distance of the Lake Michigan beach.

With some 180 years of history behind it, “Waukegan is great for a young buyer who is looking for a home with some character rather than just a cookie-cutter tract house,” Snarski said. “Maybe they want turrets and carved woodwork.

“Some people like me grew up in Waukegan and want to come home or stay home. But a lot of our home buyers are people moving out of Chicago to escape the traffic and congestion. They discover that this is a place where you can start a family at a price that’s much more affordable than in the city or in the close-in North Shore suburbs.”

Waukegan offers a mix of single- and multi-family dwellings. Homes on the market recently ranged from a $60,000 fixer-upper aimed at the investor/flipper to a comfortable two-bedroom bungalow for $99,900 to a luxurious five-bedroom showplace for $385,000.

“In the $199,000 price range you can find something pretty good with four or five bedrooms,” Snarski said.

James D. Smith, a Realtor with RE/ MAX Showcase, said the desirable housing stock, affordable prices, access to jobs and community amenities have led to an explosion of demand for local homes greater than he has seen in his 29 years in the business.

“There is more demand for homes in Waukegan than there are properties on the market,” Smith said. “A lot of times people will put their home on the market and end up with multiple offers. I just closed on one home that found a buyer the first day.”

Waukegan also gives a homeowner of any

age plenty to do, beginning with the glories of blue Lake Michigan. “I’ve been going to the beach forever, and when I was a teenager, I was a lifeguard at the lakefront,” Snarski said.

“We see music events down at the harbor, and

I see people younger than me stepping up to organize these things.”

Lake County’s county seat and biggest city has become a center of the fine arts, a magnet for big-name entertainment, and a home

RESIDENTIAL LIVING

“People moving out of Chicago to escape the traffic and congestion discover that this is a place where you can start a family at a price that’s much more affordable than in the city or in the close-in North Shore suburbs.”

– Steve Snarski, @properties base for boating and summer fun. A monthly project with the punning name “Art Wauk” has helped turn downtown Waukegan into a beehive of activity for visual artists.

Also downtown, the almost-century-old Genesee Theatre has been taken over by the city and totally renovated. It now draws people from all over the region to see shows by a who’s-who of A List musicians and comedians each week. The Three Brothers Theatre stages live community plays. A new interactive museum/attraction called The Ray Bradbury Experience will offer a 21st-century immersion in the ideas and fantasies of that world-famous, Waukegan-reared science fiction author.

“The Waukegan Park District continues to set an example nationwide of how a park

Marty Golden

district should be run,” Snarski added. “They recently updated the fieldhouse and added an aquatic center at Hinkston Park with a pool, basketball courts, a track and a climbing wall.”

Many Waukegan residents commute, sometimes to the same jobs they left behind when they moved out of Chicago. The Metra rail service connects Waukegan with Chicago, just an hour to the south, and Kenosha, Wis., a few minutes to the north. Along the way

ArtWauk, a monthly explosion of the tactical application of the arts, contributes to the artistic appreciation and cultural education in Waukegan, while helping the economic development of the downtown.

Every month, different artwork, artists and spaces challenge the surrounding community to understand art in all its forms.

This grassroots event transforms from one month to the next, sometimes following a theme but more often being as individualistic as the artists themselves. Galleries host internationally, nationally and locally known artists and collections. Two recent internationally significant exhibits include the Richard Harris Art Collection and the Migrant Quilt Project.

The Richard Harris Art Collection attracted first time visitors with original works by Rembrandt, Toulouse-Lautrec, Albrecht Dürer, Jasper Johns and Robert Mapplethorpe with a Memento Mori theme.

The Migrant Quilt Project attracted a varied audience, too, from quilt makers to activists for social change to families. The project is a collaborative effort expressing compassion for migrants who died in Arizona deserts on their way to create better lives. Materials used in the quilts were collected in the Sonoran Desert. Because of the importance of these exhibits, the hosting gallery opened additional hours beyond ArtWauk.

The arts have long had a solid foundation in Waukegan and continue to expand. Locally revered artists, such as Maggie Schwarz Kraus and Skip Wiese, were at the start of the Art Evolution in Waukegan decades ago and are still active in the Art Revolution. Dandelion Gallery, an eight-year-old nonprofit cooperative, partnered with both Swingline and Waukegan Tire on separate exhibits that used materials from those corporations.

The gallery supports young artists through a

high school show and a scholarship program.

Dandelion also features new artists, such as Michael Bellefeuille, whose reclaimed metals works are best sellers.

Live performances and pop-up galleries round out the offerings. On any given ArtWauk, Paul Rodriguez has audiences laughing at the Genesee Theatre, Three Brothers Theatre showcases the world premiere of a new playwright and punk bands rock The Burgundy Room – within blocks of each other. Outdoor pop-up venues featuring photographs of lost architectural wonders or an artist creating intricate henna tattoos add to the diverse flavor of the exhibits.

Over the years, ArtWauk has energized and positively changed Waukegan’s downtown. Property owners enjoy renewed interest in their buildings; business owners reap the rewards of more foot traffic; artists delight in additional exhibit spaces; and the overall perception of downtown has dramatically improved.

GENESEE THEATRE The Genesee Theatre is a cornerstone of the Waukegan community, hosting plays, concerts

and movies with old glamour and new technology. While the appearance preserves its 1920s opulence, updates have been made to accommodate modern audiences and acts, which continue to include top quality entertainers, Grammy-winning musical artists and headlining comedians. With over 60 shows per year, there is something for everyone!

THREE BROTHERS THEATRE At the heart of Three Brothers is the belief that theaters should be driven by artists. Three Brothers strives to be a place of opportunity, a place where artists can experiment with their craft and a place that serves as an artistic home for many artists under our roof. The theater is driven by an incredible ensemble of actors, directors and designers.

Three Brothers Theatre operates two black box theaters: Stage 115 and Stage 221. At Stage 221, you’ll see musicals and modern classics. At Stage 115, you’ll see new plays written by Three Brothers’ 13 playwrights in residence.

EDUCATION waukeganchamber.org

The largest school district in Lake County, with more than 16,000 students, Waukegan Community Unit School District 60 will see a lot of physical improvements over the next 10 years, but it already has been making notable progress in academics.

“This year 15 of our 21 schools were rated ‘commendable’ – the second-highest tier – by the State Board of Education, based on student achievement and growth our students are showing. None of our schools were rated in the lowest tier,” said District 60 spokesman Nicholas Alajakis.

With input from taxpayers, parents, staff and city officials, the school board also is drafting a 10-year Capital Improvement Plan to guide repairs and renovations to its facilities between now and 2030.

Meanwhile, work continues to install air conditioning in every school by 2020 or 2021. And the division of high schoolers that began in 2017 – with juniors and seniors now attending Waukegan High’s Washington Campus while all freshmen and sophomores go to the campus on Brookside Avenue – has been followed by upgrades to both buildings. In 2018 Brookside’s Trapp Auditorium, a 2,000-seat facility that hosts plays, concerts and events for every school and for many Waukegan community groups, got a major renovation that included refurbishing the seats and floor/ceiling restoration.

Other new programs include the expansion of after-school athletic programs on the middle school level and a summer pilot program in which students can gain experience about specialized trades jobs.

During this pilot program students will be exposed to a job application and interview process, multiple skilled trades positions, and real-world job responsibilities and expectations.

Elementary and middle school students also have had increased opportunities to participate in field trips, after-school tutoring and extra-curricular clubs such as Girls On The Run, GEMS (Girls Excelling in Math & Science), Young Men of Vision, Imagination Destination and Mariachi.

COLLEGE OF LAKE COUNTY Big improvements are in the works for the College of Lake County’s Lakeshore Campus in downtown Waukegan, which offers residents of northeast Lake County an opportunity to pursue higher education close to home.

Ground will be broken in fall 2019 on an estimated $48 million project to expand and consolidate the Lakeshore Campus.

In stages from late 2020 through 2022, the construction will create a new highrise building with sweeping views of Lake Michigan from a top-floor meeting and conference center plus a vibrant streetscape below. CLC’s existing buildings at 33 and 111 N. Genesee St. will be remodeled, creating attractive outdoor spaces and building a second-story bridge from the college’s parking garage to the buildings.

“We have a large lab for Automation, Robotics and Mechatronics at our Grayslake Campus and we will replicate that in Waukegan starting this fall,” said CLC spokeswoman Anne O’Connell.

Big improvements are in the works for the College of Lake County’s Lakeshore Campus in downtown Waukegan Students in these in-demand skill areas can apply for aid from a perhaps unexpected source – the rock band Metallica. A grant from the Metallica Scholars Initiative offers tuition support for students in Automation, Computer Aided Design, and Automation, Robotics and Mechatronics.

“We’re also expanding our Medical Assistant and Phlebotomy programs at Lakeshore,” O’Connell said. “Those fields are good entry points to get your feet in the door in the medical professions. There is a huge demand for train ed health care professionals in Lake County.”

“Besides the building, we now offer what we call the Lakeshore Commitment. In the past certain courses at Lakeshore were canceled because they did not have enough students. We have greatly enhanced our promise that you ca n get the classes you need in Waukegan. We also have done a lot of juggling of class schedules to make them more friendly to students who may work in the daytime.”

The campus also offers high school equivalency test preparation courses, English as a Second Language and noncredit continuing-education courses. Student support services include counseling, advising, registration, financial aid, tutoring, computer labs, a writing center, a library, and a child care center for age 2-6 that can be used even by low-income families not otherwise connected with the college.
