What DuPage County does
to a microwave.

Where microwaves sit in DuPage County: older housing stock, trim kits and drawers, family houses.

All of Chicago

Older housing stock

A microwave hood combination hung on an old plaster wall needs its mounting plate anchored to studs that may not sit where a modern plan expects, and a unit that has begun to tilt forward is refastened before anything else.

Trim kits and drawers

Trim kits give a built-in microwave the airflow it needs, and a custom panel that closes off the vent slots makes the unit stop mid-cycle on its thermal cutout, which the repair checks before any part is changed.

Family houses

Heavy dishes for family meals crack glass trays and wear turntable couplers, and a plate that stops or grinds is usually a small part under the cavity floor rather than a microwave at the end of its life.

Hinsdale

The Robbins Park district, east of downtown between Garfield Street and County Line Road, is listed on the National Register.

Clarendon Hills

Clarendon Hills was laid out to resemble Olmsted's park-like Riverside rather than the street grid of its neighbors, and incorporated in 1923 to avoid annexation by Hinsdale.

Downers Grove

Teardowns in Downers Grove have swapped small older houses for much bigger ones, sending rainwater once absorbed by yards onto neighbors' lots and streets.

Elmhurst

To curb flooding, Elmhurst relies on a quarry that can hold up to 8,300 acre-feet of stormwater, fed by a tunnel from Salt Creek.

Glen Ellyn

Glen Ellyn's Lake Ellyn was created in 1889 by damming a nearby stream.

Lisle

Lisle incorporated on June 26, 1956, and most of the village lies in the watershed of the DuPage River's east branch.

Lombard

Lombard, first called Babcock's Grove, incorporated in 1869 and took the name of a Chicago banker and developer who had mapped the settlement the year before.

Naperville

Naperville began as Naper's Settlement on the DuPage River in 1831 and became a village in 1857.

Oak Brook

Oak Brook incorporated in 1958, and apart from Oakbrook Center and the offices along 22nd Street and I-88, it is mostly residential subdivisions.

Wheaton

When Wheaton's first ten blocks were platted in 1850, anyone willing to build right away was given free land.
