Jim, my bet is that your tree is a locust tree. Are those brown banana-shaped pods? If so, those are locust seeds. The trees can grow up to 80 ft. tall. They're commonly-planted trees in Chicago area because they seem to be pollution-resistent. I have no idea if your's is a Honey or Black Locust, tho, but I'm fairly sure it's a Locust.
