I grew up in Lake Zurich. When I graduated from high school in 1963, the population was 3,200. My graduating class was 132. It was a great community to grow up in.
I'm sure lake zurich illionois is a very nice place. But the "original", ZurichCity and Zürichsee /Lake of Zurich) in switzerland.... also a beautiful place, see also my videos (I am Swiss and live in Zurich)
