the neighborhood, please let
us know.
"Way back in 1915, a group of public spirited citizens residing
the weed-infected, countrified, dirt road community of Hollywood,
IL decided that an improvement association should be formed. They
desired representation in the Village of Brookfield board meetings,
also greatly needed improvements. Thus the Hollywood Citizens
Associations was born."
-- by Edith Hyler from the History
of Hollywood, IL
The boundaries of the Hollywood neighborhood are
south of the Brookfield Zoo, east and north of Salt Creek and west
of the Des Plaines River. Hollywood includes parts of the villages
of Brookfield, Riverside, and Lyons, Illinois.
