Bensenville, Ill. Photo by Jing Zhou.
Welcome to The Vanishing Village, a new blog on the Windy Citizen blog network that will track the impending demolition of part of the village of Bensenville, Ill. through the O'Hare Modernization Program.
There has been a lot of great journalism about what's happening out in Bensenville and there will be much more, but when we looked around, we couldn't see any single place that was pulling it all together and giving people a place to talk about it. Hence this blog.
We've been to Bensenville and have a handful of photo features to jumpstart this blog and give you a sense of what the scene up there looks like. We'll also be linking out to news and other updates as they turn up.
Here's the thing though. In order for this blog to work, we're going to need some help. That's where you come in, dear reader. Comment on these posts. Let us know what you think about what's happening in Bensenville.
If you've got tips related to the Bensenville demolition, photos you took up there that you think would be of interest, please send them our way. Also, if you'd be interested in editing this blog, please contact us as it will need some love and attention. contact us at windycitizen@gmail.com
We'll get started with our photo posts in just a few minutes...

This is fascinating. I had no idea this was going on. Included in the demolition area is the house I lived when I was very young.
That is what is wrong in the states at this time. Government does whatever it wants and we can't stop it.
