• Mayor hopes to honor Revolutionary War veterans Peter G. Haring, Jacob Wortendyke (thepressgroup.net) — Park Ridge leaders are working to properly honor Revolutionary War veterans Peter G. Haring and Jacob Wortendyke, whose graves and homesteads lie right in town. The mayor is exploring a new military-style headstone, memorial services, and community fundraising and volunteer help as part of the borough’s 250th anniversary celebration. 
• Back to school at Park Ridge, round about 1890 (thepressgroup.net) — Step back to the 1880s, when Park Ridge’s entire student body fit into a single schoolhouse where Park Ridge High School now stands. This nostalgic look at early education, outhouses, and well water contrasts sharply with today’s tech-filled classrooms as local kids head back to school again.
