Lyons is an interesting town, being the historic focal point for the Chicago Portage used by Frenchmen Joliet and Marquette in the 1600's, the nexus of several Indian trails heading southwest out of Chicago and being a water-based community along the Des Plaines River. Lyons also was a freewheeling place through the 1980s, allowing alcohol consumption and related establishments that were less than savory.
