1. AFT's Farmers Market Celebration names 2026 winners (agdaily.com) — Arlington Heights residents can take pride that their local Farmers Market has been named the fifth-best in the entire country by American Farmland Trust's national competition. The market was praised for bringing neighbors together, supporting local vendors, and showcasing what makes Arlington Heights special, and organizers say they hope to keep growing its community impact in coming years.
2. After a week on the road, new Arlington Heights Bookmobile already in for repairs (dailyherald.com) — Arlington Heights residents relying on the library's new Bookmobile will see it sidelined after just a week of service due to an internal wiring issue affecting its emissions system. The old 2008 Bookmobile is temporarily back on the road, so neighborhood stops should continue with limited disruption while warranty-covered repairs are handled at a local dealership.
3. St. Viator High School faces pushback over stadium plan (wgntv.com) — Neighbors in Arlington Heights are pushing back against St. Viator High School's plan for a new stadium complex, raising concerns about traffic, noise, lighting, and parking on their residential streets. Supporters argue upgraded fields are vital to keep the school competitive, while village trustees have asked the school to keep revising the proposal and work more closely with nearby residents before any approval.
4. Tylenol Murders Documentary Revisits Possible Link To Idaho Cold Case (patch.com) — Arlington Heights residents will see their community's role revisited in a new documentary on the 1982 Tylenol murders, including three local victims who shared a contaminated bottle. The film explores an unproven theory linking an Idaho chemist to the poisonings, while Arlington Heights police say they've reviewed new information and continue to pursue viable leads in the still‑active investigation.
