Today's riddle: Why should you never iron a 4-leaf colver? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. La Grange's Fastest Traffic: Resident Seeks Village Study (patch.com) — Neighbors near East Avenue in La Grange are pressing village officials for a focused traffic study, saying construction at East and 47th has pushed speeding cars and trucks onto nearby residential streets. Residents worry about backups, cut-through traffic, and safety risks for children walking near Seventh Avenue Elementary School and Sedgwick Park, especially where there are no sidewalks for several blocks.
2. Downtown La Grange Resident Upset With Parking, Calls It 'Failure To Many Levels' (patch.com) — A downtown La Grange resident told village leaders she has no reliable place to park near her Burlington Avenue apartment, despite paying hundreds of dollars for permits and following conflicting guidance. Her complaints, triggered by recent tickets and even parking at the airport during Oktoberfest, highlight broader shortages of residential parking and communication gaps as officials weigh new lots and permit options.
3. Homecoming celebrates centennial (lionnewspaper.com) — Lyons Township's 100th homecoming ties today's students and alumni back to La Grange landmarks like the historic theater and Town Hall where early celebrations unfolded. A new "Old Hollywood"-themed dance and efforts to boost parade and dance participation aim to revive enthusiasm while honoring a century of LT traditions rooted in the community.
4. Bulldogs step up to win UEC Meet (rblandmark.com) — Lyons Township golfers are making noise close to home, with senior Grayson Lee firing a three-under 69 at the conference meet after competing at La Grange Country Club in La Grange. Riverside-Brookfield's girls also dominated their conference meet, and both LT boys and girls squads now head into regional and sectional play with strong momentum and realistic hopes of advancing.
