Villa Olivia name should stay
If Villa Olivia in Bartlett would leave that location, I hope it will also leave the name behind unless it has been trademarked. The site was named for Olivia, a daughter of the former owner of the property, an Elgin lawyer named Charles Erbstein, and his large house that once stood on the bluff at the Route 20 bend. The house, with a fountain in the lobby, and family are long gone from the site, but the name should remain. Erbstein also owned radio station WTAS which was housed across Route 20 in the recently demolished Borden building to the east.
