I have an issue with Libertyville being called "New Money". I can tell somebody who lives there edited this, and probably a high schooler at that:). I'm from Libertyville, and while it is most definitely an upper-middle class suburb, it is NOT new money. People seem to be confused about the term. New money implies wealth in the extreme sense just as old money does, just (obviously) acquired more recently. I don't know any CEOs of massive corporations or oil magnates who live in Libertyville. Let's not get too big of heads about ourselves and look ridiculous. This also needs to be rewritten to better standards. It is quite obviously written by somebody from the town, and while that's not a bad thing, the reader should not be able to discern this. I'm advocating for removal or at least extreme editing of " Libertyville is your typical, new money, north shore, suburb of Chicago, boasting a winning high school football team, a quaint downtown area, and a large array of both car dealerships and million dollar houses." Yes there ARE a number of million dollar-plus houses, but the average home is NOT that and this sentence seems to imply that they are. And the football team thing? Good job guys, but none of this belongs, and certainly not in the geography section! Libertyville is also not oficially considered a North Shore suburb as it has no access to Lake Michigan.
[edit] Disambiguation
Given that the next largest Libertyville is approximately 1/60th the size of the one in Illinois, I made Libertyville into a redirect to here and created a Libertyville (disambiguation) that gives you the other choices. Nareek 12:57, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Libertyville Motto Correction
In fortitudine means in strength. Translation of motto appears to be in error. Kirkvistain 00:35, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
