Literally, we’re looking for a sign. In particular, the “Welcome to the Village of Round Lake Beach” sign at the east “Gateway” into town.

We believe it was removed when Lake County DOT did the Rollins Road / Hook Drive renovation a couple of years ago, and was never remounted.

We suspect it is sitting in the back lot of a Round Lake Beach Public Works facility, forgotten under some tarps, with other assorted objects piled-up around it.

Maybe it’s time we put our “Welcome Mat” back out?
