Others might also argue for Kenosha too, but I like the clean line of the IL/WI border being the limit. Besides, there are too many packers fans up there for it to ever be fully "Chicagoland" anyway.
Dekalb is clearly not contiguous. Nor are Valpo and Woodstock. And most of the others are small little stand alone towns that have not been absorbed by the larger UA. I see no valid argument to consolidate them into the larger Chicago UA.

Isn't Woodstock right past Harvard, IL? And doesn't the suburban rail service have a stop in Harvard IL (I think it is the last stop). Motorola even built a huge cell phone plant in Harvard but it did not stay open long.
