By Pamela Lannom [email protected] The Hinsdalean’s annual gift ideas series always begins with a shopping trip around town between yours truly and a willing volunteer. I’ve been shopping with my co-workers, leaders of Hinsdale’s nonprofit agencies and members of the village’s economic development commission. This year, however, with COVID-19 infection rates climbing, spending an hour or two visiting a dozen stores with a different person each week didn’t seem to be th...

As president of the Hinsdale Historical Society, Laakso hopes to share the stories and answer the questions hidden within the village's oldest and most interesting buildings. "This town has a story to tell," said Laakso, who moved to Hinsdale in 2012 with...

Giving Tuesday is global generosity movement that, birthed in 2012, is still relatively young. But the idea is not new: be generous out of the generosity you have experienced.

Customized retaining walls for the entrance to the proposed pedestrian bridge would cost Hinsdale about $25,000, or so village trustees thought. At Tuesday night’s village board meeting via Zoom, board members learned that patterning the walls after those that flank the Oak Street bridge spanning the BNSF Railroad came with an estimated $38,400 price tag due to the need for special form liners and a premium for the village’s desired stain color. The bridge, to be constructed along the north side of 47th Street between Hin...

She did know that the Tabitha House graduate selected to present on the organization's behalf - a recovering...

"I'm from the south suburbs and I had never heard of Island Lake," Joan said of the far north suburban village. Suffice it to say, demand in the local area has since expanded to make those kinds of commutes unnecessary. November is National Caregiver Month,...
