I spent one hour -- no more, no less -- roaming around Wood Dale photographing things that caught my eye. The obvious and the obscure, big stuff and small. But all identifiable to Wood Dale.
Look for a new town gallery every Sunday at dailyherald.com/galleries and on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.
On our social media sites, share your favorite Wood Dale photos with us by using #shareyoursuburb.
And tell us what photos are your favorites. Which ones stir a memory for you? Where do you love to go in town?
