Jack Benny was not born in Waukegan. So I edited the page. How do I know? Well I was born in Waukegan and attended Jack Benny Jr. High (as it was known at the time).

[edit] Shimer College

It should be noted that Shimer College is relocating to Chicago. I understand that a few classes will remain here in Waukegan but I do not know if that it a temporary or permanent decision. Inexchris 18:16, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Historical Places

I'd like to start a section about Waukegan's historical places. Does anyone have any information to contribute?Inexchris 18:54, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Demographics

The demographics seems like it needs to be updated sources need to be cited.(UTC)Inexchris 18:40, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] History

I modified the history section by removing the first paragraph and inserting the text from the city's history page (http://www.waukeganweb.net/waukeganhistory.html).

[edit] General Changes

I added a section for "Notable People" and corrected the capitalization of "Other Notable People." Perhaps in the future we can eliminate the last paragraph under "History" and move some of our more famous residents/former residents to the "Notable People" section.

I also added a few city links and modified the TOWN links. Inexchris 19:32, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
