• From newsroom to gallery: Kelly White captures the heart of America (southwestregionalpublishing.com) — A local journalist and photographer who once lived in Chicago Ridge is showcasing her patriotic “America 250” photo exhibit at Evergreen Park Library throughout July, highlighting children and families in red, white, and blue. The Palos-area display, inspired partly by her South Side roots and earlier work, also includes images from Washington, D.C., and has drawn interest from area mayors and arts leaders.
