I Salute Anna Mae “Babe” Ahern

Anna Mae “Babe” Ahern is 101 years old, and she just beat Evergreen Park, Cook County, Illinois’ eminent domain claim for her personal, private property in court.

Anna Mae “Babe” Ahern has spent every one of her 101 years living at the Evergreen Country Club, a sprawling 18-hole golf course that she inherited from her family.

And if Evergreen Park wants to take possession of her 95-acre south suburban property, the village will have to pay her $25 million.

That’s what a Cook County jury decided this week in an eminent domain case that was a victory for Ahern, who was blocked by the village in 1999 from selling the property to a commercial developer.

You go, “Babe.”
