HCA Summer Picnic Weathered the Storm!

We were a little concerned about the weather on Sunday morning, but shortly after we started this year's annual Hollywood Neighborhood Picnic, the sun came out and we had a beautiful day of food, fun and music. Many, many thanks to all of our neighbors, Johnny B's, The Black Oil Brothers, Greg Thompson Entertainment, Shamrock Florist and Hollywood Motors.

We posted a few pictures from the event on our Flickr page. Send us your pics and we'll add them to the photo gallery.

Who We Are

"Way back in 1915, a group of public spirited citizens residing the weed-infected, countrified, dirt road community of Hollywood, IL decided that an improvement association should be formed.  They desired representation in the Village of Brookfield board meetings, also greatly needed improvements.  Thus the Hollywood Citizens Associations was born."
-- by Edith Hyler from the History of Hollywood, IL

The boundaries of the Hollywood neighborhood are south of the Brookfield Zoo, east and north of Salt Creek and west of the Des Plaines River. Hollywood includes parts of the villages of Brookfield, Riverside, and Lyons, Illinois.
