Raining and Pouring in Lisle

Lisle, Illinois is one of the loveliest places to visit, and it’s also a pretty nice place to live. It’s close enough to Chicago to take advantage of all the culture and night life, but still far enough away to maintain its own identity. Residents enjoy a very high quality of life, and for anyone who’s rich and single, it’s a suburban paradise.

The present is lovely indeed, making it very welcoming to visitors with its relaxed atmosphere, fun attractions, and a generous share of excellent hotels. Lisle also has a particularly interesting past, being founded as a town a little over 50 years ago. Some of the best legacies of the past, in fact, are reflected at the Morton Arboretum . This is a family-friendly place where people can go and see what’s growing in the area, with educational and research initiatives to help preserve the natural wonders of the area.

It was named after the same Morton who made Arbor Day a national holiday, and the family is one who’s presence is at nearly every kitchen table in the country. This is the same Morton that’s on the label in salt, and Morton Salt has been a leader in providing one of the most essential ingredients in cooking all over the world.

It’s headquartered in Chicago, where it’s found a home since 1910, and its big claim to fame has to do with the addition of another ingredient, magnesium carbonate. This helps the salt to flow, and anyone who’s used sea salt in a humid climate knows that salt tends to cake up when it gets particularly moist outside. When it rains, it is particularly susceptible to caking. So the raining and pouring on the label is a riff on an old proverb, but also tells the consumer about the very useful qualities that the magnesium carbonate offers.
