Hi! We are wanting to put the town of BENSENVILLE, IL in the drawing for the next free 3D ultrasound! What makes this town interesting is the fact that our new baby will be residing in it! =]


Location of Bensenville
Location of Bensenville

Bensenville is a village located 17 miles west of downtown Chicago and 10 miles from First Peek Ultrasound. Bensenville is primarily in DuPage County, Illinois, with a small section near O'Hare International Airport in Cook County, Illinois. As of the now-outdated 2000 census, the village population was 20,703. Bensenville is home to the Edge Ice Arena, the official practice rink of the Chicago Blackhawks professional ice hockey team (before the team built a new training facility in downtown Chicago). The village has a total area of 6 square miles. Some of the land within Bensenville is technically part of O'Hare Airport, though no people reside there.

Bensenville and O'Hare
The love-hate relationship between Bensenville and O'Hare Airport

Bensenville is adjacent to O'Hare Airport and some of the land within Bensenville is technically part of O'Hare Airport. Bensenville has a rich history that is closely tied to the airport. In 1940, the federal government announced plans to construct an aircraft plant to manufacture cargo planes just outside Bensenville in Cook County. The plant operated from 1943 to 1945. Chicago purchased the complex in 1946 to develop a large airport. The proposed airport required additional land in unincorporated DuPage County, which Chicago planned to acquire. Nearby Bensenville challenged Chicago's right to annex this land in court, but lost. Many unincorporated Bensenville structures were moved or demolished to accommodate portions of O'Hare Airport, which began domestic commercial service in 1955.

Bensenville's population grew dramatically after World War II, doubling by 1950 and nearly tripling by 1960. O'Hare provided the catalyst for increased industrial development between the airport and residential areas, but the airport also created substantial noise pollution. Bensenville joined 16 other area suburbs in 1969 in forming the O'Hare Area Noise Abatement Council to address this issue. The noise pollution from O'Hare Airport has been a contentious issue, with residents of Bensenville uniting on this cause, as can be seen here in this YouTube video.

6 feet under and 60 feet over - a tale of a cemetery and an airport

There are two cemeteries on O'Hare property that are connected with Bensenville churches. The cemeteries predate the airport by a considerable margin, and there has been significant litigation concerning O'Hare Airport's desire to move the cemeteries for purposes of extending runways and the churches' desire to have the graves remain undisturbed, as well as the village's desire to not lose a large chunk of its land. This decades-long struggle recently ended, as can be seen here in this news story.

Victory Auto Wreckers
That old car might be worth money!

Bensenville is the site of Victory Auto Wreckers, a 7-acre junkyard on Green Street which has repeatedly played the same commercial, starring Bob Zajdel, on Chicago television stations since 1981. Its television commercial, in which a young man struggles with a car door that has just detached from its hinges, has remained largely unchanged since 1985, making it the subject of frequent discussion in the local media. In the commercial, Bob Zajdel later receives a pair of $20 bills (and a third bill of unclear value). The Chicago Sun-Times once described the advertisement as "an indelible commercial image known to almost any television viewer." Television historian Steve Jajkowski argues that the commercial "is as much a part of Chicago TV as Bozo the Clown, Fahey Flynn and Svengoolie." In 2002, the Bensenville Community Development Commission threatened to close Victory Auto Wreckers within two years as part of a zoning ordinance prohibiting junkyards, incinerators and wrecking yards. However, appellate court judge Robert McLaren ruled that the facility should be considered a recycling center, allowing the business to remain in operation. The famous commercial can be seen on their Victory Auto Wreckers website here.
