The northwest suburban village of Rosemont has always been divided by busy transportation routes that funnel people through a crossroads. Occupying the geographic center of the town is a giant interchange, where the Kennedy Expressway, the Jane Addams (Northwest) Tollway, the Tri-State Tollway, and the I-190 spur to O'Hare Airport tangle over 300 acres of land -- an area larger than Grant Park and Millennium Park combined. Overhead, a steady stream of jets roar into O'Hare. CTA Blue Line trains roll down the Kennedy's median, toward the airport or a CTA facility within the interchange.
