GLENVIEW — proposed craft brewery and taproom with family ties to Hackney’s took a step closer to reality in an unusual meeting of the Glenview Village Board of Trustees.

in the world would any family want to flee such surroundings to spend weeks or long weekends in another state? “It doesn’t matter how old you are,” says Roberta Miller, a sales professional and marketing
specialist at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices KoenigRubloff in Lake Forest. “When you go to your second home, it’s like you’re going to camp. It’s another setting, a fun one. It’s a place where you get to look at
