Reader comments on life in Winnetka
I spent ages 8 - 18 here, and it was a safe place to grow up. Winnetka park was the only community resource. Winnetka Ave. school needed grass back then - all blacktop asphalt, so not fun to play on! Sutter Jr. High seemed decent at the time, but don't know if I would send my own kids there if I had a choice. People tended to keep to themselves, and it was very boring for a teenager. Glad I don't live in the Valley anymore.
