If you ever had the occasion to land at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport and your window faced north, just before you hear the wheels hit the ground you would be looking at Park Ridge, Illinois. Park Ridge is contiguous to the City of Chicago and O’Hare Field.
- The city of Park Ridge is a suburb of Chicago in Cook County in the United States. Its population was 37,775 people as of the 2000 census. It is located about 27 kilometers (17 miles) northwest of downtown Chicago.
Park Ridge is the hometown of former First Lady & current U.S. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. When she visited Park Ridge on the occasion of her 50th birthday in 1997, the city renamed the southeast corner of the intersection of Elm and Wisner Streets, next to her girlhood home, “Rodham Corner.”

A look out of either side of the airplane windows and you would have saw roof tops of urban development as far as the eye could see. That is today but let me take you back to the mid 1960’s to “Rodham Corner” and the surrounding area.
- Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton (born October 26, 1947)
Chicago O’Hare International Airport (IATA: ORD, ICAO: KORD, FAA LID: ORD) is an airport located in Chicago, Illinois, United States, 17 miles (27 km) northwest of the Chicago Loop.
The first commercial passenger flights were started there in 1955, and an international terminal was built in 1958, but the majority of domestic traffic did not move from Midway until completion of a 1962 expansion of O’Hare.

Immediately contiguous to the West (Elk Grove Village) and Southwest (Bensenville) you would have found ongoing construction in what is the largest industrial district in the world. Thousand of acres of warehouses and manufacturing plants.
(See map for relationships to O’Hare Field, Park Ridge and the above mentioned here…)
So What’s the Point?
Well it is not about a History Lesson of Park Ridge or O’Hare Field. It’s about a Presidential wannabe who can not tell the truth and fabricates foggy past experiences to pander to voters. In this case migrant farm workers.
Hillary Clinton this past Friday said this at the Democratic California Convention this past Friday (paraphrase)…..
- “When I grew our community (Park Ridge) was surrounded by farm fields and on Saturday mornings I would baby sit the younger children of migrant farm workers at church so that the older children and their parents go work in the farm fields.”
What in the hell is she talking about?
She lived in the midst of one of the biggest construction booms and development areas we ever saw. I know, because I worked there in construction and building at that time. (So you don’t think that I am older than Methuselah, I started working at the age of two.)
You would have to go back to the days of World War II to find that this area had any semblance to a farming community.
So did Hillary Really Baby-sit for Illegals? Only in her dreams.

In that same speech from this past Friday she said…..
- Clinton, 59, said this week marks the fourth anniversary of the president’s “Mission Accomplished'’ speech, in which he stood on the deck of an aircraft carrier off the coast of San Diego and declared that major combat had ended in Iraq.
She called the speech “one of the most shameful episodes in American history. … The only mission he accomplished was the re-election of Republicans.”
