The ABC sitcom "Roseanne" is played on a screen behind the bar at Dutch Inn West in Elgin, Illinois, on April 10, 2018.

When "Roseanne" was first on TV from 1988 to 1997, the Chicago suburb of Elgin that inspired the show's setting was predominantly white and Republican, with a rusted out economy. Not anymore, NBC News reports.
