My father was born and raised in Joliet, IL.His family lived on Adella Ave. next to the Elmhurst Cemetery and he grew up swimming in the cold clear water of "the quarry".They played all sorts of pranks on one another.The quarry was definitely within walking distance of Elmhurst.My cousin tells me its been filled in long ago.My Dad would have been swimming there in late 1920's through the 1930's.
