This summer, the Tollway provided the villages with a few design options and asked them to agree...

It’s hard to imagine 2020 could get any scarier than it already is. But the never-ending pandemic will not deter us from our annual Halloween tradition of imagining a Hinsdale that is significantly more frightening than the one we know and love.

"I love the community and I've always wanted other people to feel the same way about it," Smith said. A lot has changed since she began selling homes in Hinsdale, she noted. But in the decades since she sold that first house, at least two things have remained the same. "It all comes down to relationships and trust. That has not...
