The COVID-19 pandemic made it impossible for the D181 Foundation to hold its annual Young Writers Night this year.

At a special village board meeting May 26, trustees were united in their concerns that McNaughton Development's vision to build 24 single-family homes on 25.6 acres straddling Hinsdale and Oak Brook north of Ogden Avenue between Madison and Adams streets was too dense and out of character for the area.

For many, the word "philanthropist" refers to a wealthy individual using his or her substantial resources to meet large-scale needs. But financial benevolence does not depend on one's tax bracket status, a lesson learned by teen members of the YC2 leadership development program - including rising Hinsdale Central senior Amar Gupta. "Whenever you hear about philanthropy, it's always about some billionaire with a lot of money," Gupta said. "This time they were giving (the...

The street, 'The Lane,' was actually the lane that the cows used to reach the barn. Years later, the barn's foundation was broken down and used in paving Ravine...
