Talk:Medinah, Illinois

What a horrible review of the Medinah. Medinah is quite and peaceful. There is not much to do but it is in the middle of everything else without the high taxes. Obviously who ever wrote this has never been there. The neighborhood a beautiful and everyone takes pride in their homes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.210.191.161 (talk • contribs)

I think the article could use a picture of the Medinah Country Club. Also Medinah was called Meacham Illinois from 1870-1925. Meacham was the first Postmaster. The Medinah Country Club opened in 1925 and the town changed it's name. Medinah has had three Post Offices. The first was at the old general store. The second was at the old railroad station. The current Post Office is the third(opened 1963). The post office had a armed robbery in the 1950's. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.217.115.5 (talk) 03:26, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

"Fox River Valley" reference (September 2020)
The page suggests in the summary that Medinah is located in the Fox River Valley, but when clicking the link it is quite clear that this is not true. The claim is also not sourced (in case it is a local colloquialism, despite being geographically incorrect). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.51.209.114 (talk) 13:20, 11 September 2020 (UTC)


 * To that end, Medinah is located within the Salt Creek Watershed, which flows into the Des Plaines River. I can only speak for myself, but as a local, I've never heard it to be considered part of the Fox River Valley. Feltnokia (talk) 21:40, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

Annexation controversy - nearby towns want to carve out Medinah to replace nature with warehouses
The village of Itasca in Illinois is working with a property developer to acquire and raze the portion of Medinah adjacent to Itasca's industrial park. This seems to have been started in early 2022 by the developer with the tacit approval of Itasca without any prior notice to Medinah residents excepts for the excuse that "it was posted on the Itasca web site". The situation came to light when some residents received offers for their land from the developer. Current homeowners are trying to fight this and there is a change.org petition to "save Medinah". Of course, the expected answer from Itasca to Medinah residents' complaints is to not sell. Yet the strategy will force many people out. The developer simply starts buying up some houses for a much higher price than market, attach them to Itasca, build a warehouse with heavy truck traffic. This change in environment from a quiet wooded area to constant semi-truck traffic will push people out and devalue houses. The key enabling point for this project is Itasca's willingness to transform a nice wooded area with separate houses into a sea of asphalt and concrete. 24.13.164.31 (talk) 15:43, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
