What Lakeview does
to a microwave.

Lake View began as a township chartered by the Illinois General Assembly, independent of Chicago, and held its first township election in 1857.

The Lakeview East Chamber of Commerce credits a boom starting in 1889 with more than 40 percent of the buildings standing today.

In ZIP code 60657, 49 percent of housing units are in buildings of 20 or more units, while 40 percent are in buildings of 2 to 19.

Housing from before 1940 accounts for 34 percent of the units there.

Also known as Lake View.

Mixed housing

When a newer microwave hood combination replaces an older one, it is often hung on the old mounting holes and fed by the old duct, and a unit that rattles or vents poorly is traced to that fit rather than the fan.

Apartments and walk-ups

In a small apartment kitchen the microwave hood combination hangs low over the cooking surface to save counter space, and steam from every pot rises into its touchpad and fan, which wear sooner than they would in a bigger room.

Family houses

In a family house the microwave warms bottles, snacks and leftovers from dawn to bedtime, and its door latch and turntable wear out ahead of anything else inside it.

When a microwave
cannot wait in Lakeview.

In Lakeview as anywhere, these five mean the microwave stays switched off until a technician has seen it: sparks or a flame inside, smoke behind the window, a burning smell, a breaker that drops, or a door that no longer seals.
