• Glen Ellyn Rejects Special Use Permit Request For Beauty Parlor On Duane (patch.com) — Village trustees in Glen Ellyn narrowly rejected a special use permit that would have allowed The Parlor beauty salon to open at 524 Duane Street in the downtown C5A retail core. Supporters argued the Glen Ellyn couple's higher-end salon and retail concept would attract evening foot traffic and visitors from other towns, while opponents insisted the space near the future Prairie Path Park should remain reserved for traditional retail to support a pedestrian shopping experience.
