This town is diverse of cultures and people, great suburb to raise kids as I have grown up here. I love everything about this town except for the potholes! Great youth programs, public library, local food places and bars. Located in the Midwest not far from Chicago it is close to the city for tourist attractions such as Millennium Park, Navy Pier, all the museums and zoos, as well as beaches.
Blue Island is really quiet and small. There's nothing to do here except go to the library or to any of the sporting events they have (Baseball, Football...etc). The few things I would change in Blue Island would be to have a movie theater in our city instead of going to Crestwood or Chicago Ridge to watch a movie, create a program for those that want to further their education in whatever career that they are interested in and invest in the city by creating/bringing in businesses (local/corporate) to give people here an opportunity to be financially stable.
I love that blue island is a nice diverse place. People don’t feel different because everyone is different and everyone is nice and friendly. Neighbors sometimes help each others clean the snow during winter and kids play together during the summer.
