An Hour in ... Rolling Meadows

By Kelly Vold kvold@dailyherald.com

This summer marks the 60th anniversary for Rolling Meadows. Special events, decor and just a good feeling around town mark this special occasion for this Northwest suburban city.

Plenty of history is in this community — from old cemeteries to Kimball Hill neighborhoods to the original fire station, which hasn’t changed much over the years. Residents are proud of their town, parks, schools and everything the city has to offer.

To show off Rolling Meadows, we spent one hour — no more, no less — roaming around town photographing things that caught our eye. The obvious and the obscure, big stuff and small. But all identifiable to Rolling Meadows.

Look for a new town gallery every Sunday at dailyherald.com/galleries and on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

On our social media sites, share your favorite Rolling Meadows photos with us by using #shareyoursuburb.

And tell us what photos are your favorites.

Which ones stir a memory for you? Where do you love to go in town?

So here’s “An Hour in Rolling Meadows.”

With the city celebrating its 60th anniversary this summer, these banners are attached to the light poles in town highlighting different businesses and groups in Rolling Meadows.

Kimball Hill Elementary School is in the heart of the city and is named for Kimball Hill, the man who founded the company that built many neighborhoods in Rolling Meadows. At left, one of the city’s water towers stands tall over Roger L. Florey Park on Campbell.

The Carillon Bell Tower is considered the crown jewel of the revitalization of downtown Rolling Meadows. The 40-foot bell tower and plaza on Kirchoff Road serve as a memorial to servicemen and women of all wars.

Rolling Meadows 60 years of history worth celebrating

&

60 things to love 1. Farmers & Food Trucks

As Rolling Meadows celebrates its 60th year, the Daily Herald is proud to present this list, a shout-out to 60 of the things, present or past, that make the city a great place to live.

The Daily Herald has been part of that journey from the very beginning, your hometown newspaper, covering the big and little events that make a grouping of people a true community. We hope this section brings back your own memories of those years and reminds you of what you have to celebrate.

For those who would like more memories, we’ll be sharing expanded ones throughout Neighbor as we continue to celebrate.

You also can visit the Rolling Meadows Historical Society and its Kimball Hill house with its wonderfully detailed 1950s furnishings, which captures perfectly the feel of the time and for me brings back a wealth of childhood memories.

And, while several of the city’s celebratory events have already occurred, ones yet to come include this Saturday’s Parking Lot Party, a tailgating event in the Community Center Parking Lot with music and food trucks. Details on the July 18 event and other anniversary activities are on the city’s website at ci.rolling-meadows.il.us. Have fun!

James Kane Deputy City Editor Daily Herald

A relatively new tradition in Rolling Meadows that has developed a following is monthly summer Farmers & Food Trucks events on the fourth Saturday of the month in the city hall parking lot.

2. 4th Fireworks Rolling Meadows’ Fourth of July fireworks display gets rave reviews because of its community feel.

3. Courthouse The Cook County circuit court’s Third Municipal District courthouse in Rolling Meadows serves 33 municipalities and law enforcement agencies in the Northwest suburbs with 21 courtrooms, multiple county offices and a public health service.

Why is Rolling Meadows a city and not a village like the many towns that surround it? It’s not clear, but most people agree the first legislative body wanted to make Rolling Meadows different from nearby Arlington Heights and Palatine, which are villages.

The first elementary school in Rolling Meadows, probably not surprising to anyone, was Kimball Hill School. Most of the elementary students who live in Rolling Meadows still attend the various schools in District 15.

10. Salt Creek

5. Golden Triangle Rolling Meadows’ premier office area, nicknamed The Golden Triangle, is the area surrounded by Route 53, Golf Road and the Northwest Tollway. The biggest chunk of office space is in the multi-building Meadows Corporate Center.

6. Northwest Industrial Park Rolling Meadows’ industrial park was established in the northwest part of the city in 1959.

The land, surrounded roughly by Hicks Road, Northwest Highway and Route 53, was set aside by developer Kimball Hill when he first started establishing Rolling Meadows to provide a solid tax base for the city.

Salt Creek provides a rich history for Rolling Meadows. It has been reported that many years before the city was incorporated, American Indians set up camp near Salt Creek and used it to travel.

original 13 tenants in the Rolling Meadows Shopping Center, whose construction was announced in April 1955 — making it one of the oldest continuously operating businesses in the town.

15. Ice rinks While most part districts don’t have an ice rink, the Rolling Meadows Park District has two of them, making the city a draw for skaters.

16. WildStang robotics team

11. Senior Center Gift Shop

Gary Cole, who grew up in Rolling Meadows, is one of Hollywood’s most diverse actors. He’s played a crazed killer, postured as the vice president and voiced an animated bunny.

Lance Pressl, a Rolling Meadows High School graduate who have won the Distinguished Alumni Award, currently serves as Senior Policy Fellow at the Institute for Work and the Economy while leading FinnAllye Productions. Pressl in 1996 was named president of the Civic Federation, the oldest taxpayer watchdog organization in the country.

A 1981 graduate of Rolling Meadows High School, Distinguished Alumni Award winner Steven Isoye now is superintendent of Oak Park and River Forest High School.

He was named Illinois High School Principal of the Year by the Illinois Principals Association.

Rolling Meadows began celebrating its 60th anniversary with a cake-cutting on Feb. 26, the day Rolling Meadows was incorporated in 1955, and has continued to celebrate in style with special events and by honoring businesses and residents who have been a part of the city from the beginning.

21. Jobs Rolling Meadows major employers include: Northop Grumman, 2,100; Capital One, 1,100; Ceanate, 620; Komatsu, 325; Meijer, 286; A.H. Management Group, 263; RTC, 252; Methode Electronics, 245; Wal-Mart, 221; and Panasonic, 200.

23. Restaurants The dining scene in Rolling Meadows offers more than 70 options in all price ranges and styles. Despite all the choices, the best selling item in the city may well be the lowly hot dog.

Portillo’s has one of its amazingly successful restaurants on Golf Road.

8. Salt Creek Park District The Salt Creek Park District offers year-round enjoyment with its Twin Lakes Recreation Area and clubhouse and Hat Trick Hockey rink in Palatine.

Garoppolo was a two-year starter at Rolling Meadows and led his team the Mid-Suburban East title. He threw for 3,960 yards and 23 touchdowns while

In the last two years, police officer Carlos Saez and social services specialist Natalia Mercado have revived some of Rolling Meadows’ much-praised Police Neighborhood Resource Center services, which were lost for a time when the center was forced to close after two decades in 2009 by the city’s economic woes.

25. The people Rolling Meadows really wouldn’t be anywhere without its 24,000 residents, who put their time and effort into ensuring that the many community groups prosper.

Vanguard leader focuses on post-high school success Submitted by District 214

Kate Kraft was an associate principal for operations at both Elk Grove and Wheeling high schools before her 2013 appointment as the director of Vanguard.

Since her arrival at Vanguard, a school instituted nearly 20 years ago to provide hands-on, real-life experiences and a community service connection, the school

has become increasingly focused on preparing students for careers after high school.

Vanguard educators are developing individual learning plans to encourage students to both work hard in high school and be mindful of working toward a goal that lies beyond graduation.

This fall, the school will have established six career pathways

for students that guide them into college and careers, with a goal of three more the following year.

“Our goal at Vanguard is to meet students where they’re at intellectually, socially and emotionally and put a renewed focus on success in high school and beyond,” Kraft said. “I couldn’t be prouder of the dedication of the staff and students.”

Before joining District 214 in 2009, Kraft was an English teacher and coach at Park Junior High in LaGrange, an associate principal for student services at Grayslake North High School and a student activity director and English teacher at Deerfield High School.

She has a master’s degree in Educational Leadership from National Louis University.
