If you're looking for mean streets, skip Sheridan Road. A curlicue of suburban contentment, it winds past the fancy homes that line Chicago's North Shore. This is the heart of Illinois' 10th Congressional District, which stretches from Wilmette to Lake Bluff and points north. Tour a town square, and you'll find a Saks Fifth Avenue and, not far off, a Jaguar dealership tucked into a 1920s storefront. Farther up Sheridan, a grocery hawks patisserie. A mere "bakery" doesn't cut it in the tony 10th.
