Kenilworth
For 17 years, I have lived in Kenilworth , a small, wealthy, primarily white square mile town north of Chicago. The tiny town is known for being highly exclusive and afraid of outsiders, it wasn't until a few years ago that I realized just how true that was. The town is very diverse and has been since its creation in the late 1800’s and the small middle school, Joseph Sears school reflects its demographic. All the kids from kenilworth go to the small public school in the center of town where the kids grow up knowing nothing except what is directly in front of them. I, like most other kids at that school, was oblivious to the changing world because Kenilwoth was not changing with it. Kenilworth recently started discussing a small tif , which is like a tax, that would incentivise small new businesses to open restaurants and other services on a popular road that goes right through Kenilworth. The tif would in the end help taxpayers as the new businesses start paying taxes. Cur
