A pedestrian pushes a stroller along the trail surrounding the 80-foot smokestack Wednesday at Gelatin Park in Grayslake. For 60 years, the Grayslake Gelatin Co. was the village's industrial heart and one of its main employers. The factory was closed in the early 1980s and the site was converted into a park. The smokestack was preserved which says Grayslake on one side and gelatin on the other. The park is located just west of the Grayslake Area Public Library.

Located on Central Road just west of Rolling Meadows High School, this Rolling Meadows water tower appears to be wearing a crown of sorts prior to repainting. While an artistic design graces the west side of the water tower, the lettering scheme is asymmetrical as the city's name is spelled out in capitalized black letters on the opposite side. The metal protrusions allow the installation of a protective liner around the tank to minimize dust and overspray from landing on the surrounding area, including nearby homes and cars.
