Out of those lines my winners would be.....


UP-N....Lot's of good choices and a tough competition here. Still have to go with the obvious choice of
Evanston
2. Highland Park
3. Wilmette
4. Lake Bluff
5. Winnetka
6. Lake Forest

MD-N
Libertyville (with Northbrook and Deerfield as the most disappointing)

UP-NW....Tight competition. Most are pretty decent along this line.
1. Crystal Lake
2. Park Ridge

MD-W
Elgin (by FAR!)

UP-W
Geneva......Elmhurst a close 2nd

BNSF -
Downers Grove
2.Naperville
3. Aurora


I'm also a fan of some of the Fox River towns w/o any Metra service. Though they are close to being rural towns as being included in the metro IMO.

Algonquin
West Dundee
McHenry
Carpentersville
St.Charles
