Things To Do: |
Downtown Waukegan is a classic
Mid-America town with the charm that seems stuck in the olden days.
On my most recent trip, I visited some local spots and highly
recommend stopping by if you have time.
Joplin's Java and Ragtime Cafe
located at
318 North Genesee St,
offers affordable Chinese food. Whether you order from the
vast menu or get a quick bite from the steam table, I think you'll
be satisfied with the taste and quality of your meal. :) |
