Lake Forest, Ill. officials say "Family, education, tradition and philanthropy" define the affluent North Shore suburb. That's central to a new marketing effort taken up by Lake Forest, with a similar project underway in nearby Lake Bluff. Lake Forest officials maintain their city already has a well-established image and that they don't have to hire a consultancy to make one up. City spokeswoman Susan Banks said they simply needed to do a better job of promoting it.
