Glencoe set to honor Hall of Fame inductees Jan. 26
Submitted by Village of
Glencoe
On Jan. 26, the Glencoe
Historical Society, in
partnership with the Village
of Glencoe’s Sesquicentennial
Planning Committee,
will host the first
official event of the 2019
Sesquicentennial year.
The group will unveil and
honor the Glencoe 150
Hall of Fame inductees at
a special dinner at Skokie
Country Club. The Hall of
Fame represents a group
of 150 Glenconians whose
lives and ideas have impacted
the community or
the world at large during
the 150 year history of the
Village.
For the past few
months, GHS has solicited
nominations from the
general public. “To qualify
for consideration, an
individual, (either living
or dead) had to have either
been born here, lived
here, or worked here and
accomplished something
that made Glencoe or the
world at large a better
place,” Glencoe Historical
Society President Ed
Goodale said. “The qualifications
of each nominee
were researched and discussed
by a panel from the
GHS and then additionally
reviewed and debated
by a second panel of individuals
planning the Hall
of Fame event. The final
list includes 114 men, 28
women and 8 couples.”
“The inaugural Glencoe
Hall of Fame class includes
43 living honorees
and 107 individuals who
are deceased,” said Karen
Ettelson, Sesquicentennial
Planning Committee
Chairwoman. “Their
accomplishments have
helped to shape the worlds
of business, government,
education, science, the
arts and sports. Their stories
highlight the diverse
interests, talents and contributions
of our residents
throughout the history of
our community. People
may recognize some of
the names, but there are
many whose identities
and accomplishments may
surprise you.”
Featured speaker for
the Glencoe Hall of Fame
dinner will be honoree
and well-known Chicago
newscaster Walter Jacobson,
who will reflect on his
experiences of growing up
in Glencoe. Master of Ceremonies
for the evening
will be Glencoe resident
John Kastl, who retired
from an acting career that
included a recurring role
on the hit television series
Scrubs, among others, to
become a Chicago lawyer.
The event promises
to be a fun, interesting and
educational evening.
Tickets for the dinner
and program are $100
per person and can be
purchased at www.glencoehistory.org
or by mailing
a check payable to
the “Glencoe Historical
Society” to GHS at 375
Park Ave., Glencoe,
Illinois 60022.
In addition to the program
at the Hall of Fame
Dinner, the GHS will feature
Hall of Fame honorees
in a new exhibit opening
in the spring at the
GHS museum located at
375 Park Avenue and also
in a special Sesquicentennial
commemorative
booklet that will be available
at the opening of the
exhibit.

Village Board considers next steps for Tudor Court
Final design to be
presented in first
half of year, will
cost $1M-plus
Submitted by Village of
Glencoe
Following an 18-month
design review and public
engagement effort, the
Village of Glencoe Board
of Trustees responded to a
presentation of design alternatives
for the segment
of Tudor Court between
Vernon Avenue and Green
Bay Road at its Jan. 10
Committee of the Whole
meeting.
The design review of
Tudor Court aligns with
a recommendation of the
Downtown Plan, adopted
in late 2016.
In the plan, Tudor Court
was identified as presenting
an opportunity for
place-making enhancements
that support the
“arts core” that is emerging
on Tudor Court, due in
part to Writers Theatre and
surrounding galleries.
In developing the design
alternatives for Tudor
Court, the Village
enlisted the assistance of
urban design and landscape
architecture firm
Teska Associates. Teska
Associates drew guidance
from the Downtown Plan
in addition to feedback
gathered from the Village
Board, the Tudor Court
Stakeholder Focus Group
(which consisted on representatives
of Tudor
Court business owners,
Chamber of Commerce
representatives, Writers
Theatre representatives,
the Glencoe Park District
and the Women’s Library
Club, as well as a resident
of Glencoe Drive), as well
as from the general community
which was welcomed
to give input via
an open house and online
survey.
The design concepts
presented at the Jan. 10
meeting were two-tiered:
one alternative represented
baseline streetscape
improvements, while the
second alternative included
those baseline improvements
in addition to
special elements to elevate
the image and character of
Tudor Court. The Village
Board directed Village
staff to move forward with
planning for the baseline
streetscape improvements,
while also requesting options
for various components
of the special elements,
such as seating and
pedestrian-scale lighting.
At this time, it is estimated
that these improvements
would cost approxi-
