If there's a new pergola, patio or pool being built anywhere in Hinsdale, Lourdes Garcia knows all about it. As the village's building inspector and code enforcement officer, it's Garcia's job to see that every project is being done properly and with as little inconvenience to neighbors as possible. An employee of the village for about eight years, Garcia said she never dreamed that a job managing a large apartment building in Woodridge would lead to where she is today. "It...
Wait, summer’s not over yet! Yes, the resumption of school and the winding down of Hinsdale Community Pool operations can make it feel like the fun-in-the-sun times are setting into the horizon. But lament not, for delights still abound in this season’s final movement. Speaking of music, the village’s Uniquely Thursday series has been extended an extra week due to the weather cancellation back on kick-off night. So if you can’t get to Burlington Park to hear Semple Band tonight, clear the schedule Sept. 2 to enjoy fan fav...

A musician since his teen years, Miller said he has long dreamed of playing on the Uniquely Thursdays stage. It's a dream he will see come true tonight, Aug. 19. "Getting a gig is one thing. Getting a show that's a part of your life, it makes such a difference," said Miller, who will perform with the rock cover band Reckless from 6 to 9 p.m. in...

As recreation and marketing communications manager for the village, Hanzel not only plans a host of special events but also lets people know about them through banners, website posts, brochures and flyers. "If it's printed, I probably worked on it," said Hanzel, who joined Hinsdale's staff five...
Starting Wednesday, Sept. 1, some Hinsdale residents may see an increase in their water bill. In order to ensure the municipal water system is properly funded for years to come, the Hinsdale Village Board has changed its billing structure to a fixed fee and variable rate structure. Under this structure, all village residents will pay $15 every two months, along with a variable rate tied to water usage. Revenue generated from the fixed fee will be used to fund village projects to improve water infrastructure, ensuring a safe...

Meredith Jaye is new to Hinsdale, but only to those who haven't made the trip to the flagship store in Glen Ellyn.

Village officials are discussing a two-pronged approach to help encourage historic preservation in town. One of the strategies is to offer incentives to those who are interested in preserving a historic home. The Hinsdale Village Board and Hinsdale Historic Preservation Commission met together Tuesday to discuss a proposal to offer zoning relief in such cases. “The goal is to create a separate, streamlined, user-friendly section in the zoning code with easily applied bulk regulations for historic properties,” village pla...

As Hinsdale's village planner, Bethany Salmon is helping the village prepare for the future while keeping one eye solidly focused on the past. Salmon's job is to protect the buildings that make Hinsdale special while exploring opportunities for expansion and improvement. Developers and business owners with hopes of bringing projects to the village must first pass their ideas past Salmon. "We're not interested in growth for the sake of growth," said Salmon, who was drawn to...
No question, Hinsdale is demolishing the stories that reside in its old homes. The village is in the throes of a building boom. Lots of stone and brick delivered to job sights. Loads of slate roofing and copper downspouts, too. Weird little dormers sticking out of slate roofs. Massive ground to roofline windows reflecting multi-story staircases. Some of the homes that are being built seem to possess a design that, in my opinion, is cookie-cutter and lacks a certain aesthetic beauty. It seems doubtful that in 100 years, these...
The north end of Hinsdale felt more rural than suburban when Virginia Feller and her husband, Bernie, moved there in the 1950s. "This was like a country town then," said the 102-year-old Feller. "The Salt Creek Club was a meadow." The village could boast at having three grocery stores, three drug stores, a bank "and reasonably priced clothing stores with nice merchandise," she noted. Just as today, one just had to make sure not to exceed the downtown parking limit. "They had...
Rino Burdi said 24 W. Hinsdale Ave. is the perfect fit for Burdi Clothing shop. "It's like my man cave," he said with a smile. Burdi started in the menswear business with his father at the flagship shop in Chicago. He said the Hinsdale space, which opened last September, is three times the size of the downtown store but has just half the merchandise. "This is just meant to be a little more relaxed and easy. Not in your face," Burdi remarked. Open is the feeling of the store,...

Complete retreat - Sandy Williams' book, "Images of America - Hinsdale," describes how KLM became a park in the village. "The KLM Lodge, a dining and recreation hall for the women's retreat (for employees of International Harvester), was built in 1926. It was designed by Hinsdale architect R. Harold Zook based on an earlier plan for the Legge home intended for the site. A dormitory followed, along with tennis courts, swimming pool and a convalescent cottage. In December 1973,...
Hinsdale's downtown parking deck marked one year of operation last month, and its inaugural performance review seems favorable. "It's served the intended purpose, and that was to relieve some of the parking demand in the downtown area," Brad Bloom, Hinsdale's assistant village manager, said of the 319-space facility. "I certainly think it's worked very well and surpassed our expectations." The main expectation - and hope - was that employees of downtown businesses would avail...
