How Do You Pronounce Minooka?
The village was featured on an episode of The Good Wife Sunday night, which led to discussions of the proper way to pronounce the village name.
The word Minooka may mean a number of things. According the village's Web site, it may mean high point, place of contentment, good Earth or place of the maples.
The village incorporated in 1869.
Even long-term residents of the town, though, pronounce the name of the town in different ways.
So, vote in our poll. What is the right way to pronounce Minooka?

Makes for a good fiction story but the trial would be either in Grundy County or Will county court.

I know! Why not research the information properly if you are going to use a city in a t.v. program?

I was under the impression that it was Grundy Court for the Minooka portion and that there was a second, separate trial that was taking place in Cook County.
