Today's riddle: Do you know what the two sides of a circle are? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Highland Park Condemns Antisemitic Vandalism Found At Public Park (patch.com) — Highland Park officials are denouncing antisemitic vandalism after a swastika was found defacing a slide in a local public park, prompting a police investigation and swift cleanup. Mayor Nancy Rotering emphasized the pain this causes the city's Jewish community, especially as residents transition from the High Holy Days to Sukkot, and announced increased monitoring of parks and houses of worship.
• Highland Park Retail Center Sells For $7.75M (patch.com) — A 13-suite retail center at 1833 Deerfield Road in Highland Park has sold for $7.75 million, underscoring investor interest in the town's North Shore commercial market. Anchored by a long-running Starbucks and other daily-needs tenants, Garrity Square's sale highlights ongoing confidence in well-located neighborhood retail serving local residents.
• 'It just didn't take off': Why Lake County plastic bag recycling program is ending next year (dailyherald.com) — Lake County's Hefty ReNew plastic bag and Styrofoam recycling program, which included Highland Park among its participating communities, will end June 30 because companies can't reliably recycle the collected materials. Residents are urged to use store drop-offs for bags instead, as environmental advocates and local officials reflect on the program's mixed results.
