Karen, the larger and better-known one is Arlington Park, which is up in Arlington Heights. I was there once for a concert. They had a fire in 1985 and lost their entire grandstand. Since then it's been reconstructed and it looks really good. they hosted a free concert by Lee DeWise (sp?) who was a winner on American Idol from the northwest suburbs. I would say Arlington Heights is a more suburban area than where Hawthorne is, which is sort of residential to light industrial. Arlington Park also hosts the annual Christmas fair for Lambs Farm, which is a center for people with developmental disabilities. The Christmas fair got too big for Lambs Farm, so now they have it up at Arlington which is much better. Easier to park, good access for people with wheelchairs or strollers and much bigger for shoppers. In the summer they give "backstage" tours at Arlington, and you can visit the track and the horse areas. You can bet on the races, of course, but you don't have to. You can just go and watch the horses and the fans.

I wonder what the parks do where the Triple Crown races are run? Do you suppose their barns attract kitties, and do they have a way of caring for them?
