This is my rating based on the potential that I'm seeing with the redevelopment of this mall. Over…read moretime, this mall has generally been a good spot to gather with a quality set of stores, though there's definitely a lot more competition nearby with good options in all of the surrounding shopping centers that cover all the different varieties of shops and restaurants. With lots of indoor malls closing nearby, this setup has become a bit more of a rarity, and personally I still like having a large spot with furniture to sit down at when I need to rest, a climate controlled area for when it's too hot or cold outside, and lots of fun spots to do seasonal pictures. With Hawthorn 2.0, I'm quite excited for what is to come. It looks like there will be a fresh set of solid anchors like Perry's Steakhouse, AMC, Dave & Busters, Macy's, etc. If this develops similarly to Randhurst, this would be a great spot to gather in Vernon Hills. Even before this is complete however, Hawthorn Mall has retained more quality tenants and has an overall cleaner and more modern look than some of the other indoor malls nearby. With the next closest similar offering being Woodfield Mall, this is still a fairly unique offering.

Hawthorn Mall used to be a go to spot, especially for Christmas shopping. I have childhood memories…read moreof going there with my mother. It's sad to see all of the empty stores in the mall. It still has some favorites like Macy's, Maggiano's, and AMC theaters. I love going to Macy's. I can always find a bargain in the Backstage area! I hope that Hawthorn Mall can attract some new shops and return to its glory days.

This station is nicer than the others I've been too. It's clean, quiet, and it's warm inside…read moreduring the cold months like now! I love that there is plenty of parking outside. Still trying to school myself on the parking permit situation. I know if you're a Libertyville resident you have a permit and can park on certain spaces. If you are just an average Joe, you can still pay for your parking using the little kiosk near the station entrance, or use the App - ParkMobile. I believe parking is still $2/day. There are plenty of spaces to sit inside while you wait for your train, and also a bathroom. Even a little vending machine to buy a cold pop or water if needed. You don't have to walk far at all to get to the train platform as it's literally outside the door. Nice station.

I'm not sure why the Libertyville Metra Station has such a low rating on here. I think it is…read morefunctional and clean. It gets the job done. There is seating inside and outside to wait for your train or to be picked up. They have a ticket machine available, but honestly it is much easier buying a metra ticket on the app. The station is conveniently located in downtown Libertyville and has ample parking for commuters (for a price, of course). It is walkable to a couple of nearby coffee shops too. FYI Metra Milwaukee District North line to Chicago seems to run late all the time. So, allow for ample travel time!

The Lake Bluff Metra station is generally pleasant and useful…read more Good: the building is attractive and comfortable, in a woodsy Craftsman style. Bad: there are no benches to sit on at the outbound platform, as there are on the inbound side. Good: a ticket seller is present in the morning weekdays, to early afternoon. Bad: they lock the bathroom by early afternoon. Are they afraid I'll steal the paper towels? Good: the station is in the center of town. Within walking distance: a Friday farmer's market, several restaurants, banks with ATMs, a brewpub, grocery/deli, bike shop, post office, city park and public library. A small coffee shop is in the southern part of the station early on weekday mornings. Bad: there isn't anyplace within walking distance to get breakfast on a weekend before 9:00 AM.

This is actually a really nice station. It has a little mini "library" for patrons to take a book…read moreand return it whenever they're finished with it. I like that it's very close to some restaurants, in case you come early or want to grab a bite before your trip. The only thing wrong with this station is that sometimes the lady who you purchase your ticket from isn't there when the signs say she will be, which can cause issues on the train later (it's a higher fee for purchasing the ticket on the train if the train station is open). For the most part this has never been an issue for me, but you should always try to plan ahead. Other than that, it's a great station, much better than Great Lakes.
