Once Again, Catching Up With Stories in The Herald-News

Ohhhh, I've got to get better at posting these.

On the other hand, even I'm amazed at the wide variety of stories I'm able to find. I so love my job!



Doctors at Joliet health center distribute free books to patients

This just isn't another feel-good campaign. The simple act of reading, which is not so simple to some of these low-income patients, also helps these doctors to assess developmental milestones.

An Extraordinary Life: Joliet man battled multiple sclerosis for 30 years, put family first

Furthermore, he was an immeasurable source of musical wealth, which greatly enhanced the services of a Crest Hill music store.

Joliet grassroots fundraiser raises money for local organizations
By Mauverneen Blevins

Imagine nearly 1300 hundred women in witch costume milling the floors of a Victorian mansion. No? Actually, yes. It has to be seen to be believed.

New Joliet restaurant features gourmet handmade burgers and chips

Several reporters for The Herald-News decided to check it out yesterday, waited forty minutes in line, and left for somewhere else. This place is seriously that busy.

Senior league at Joliet Town and Country Bowling has active members in their 80s and 90s.

And I do mean "active," folks. Like women in their 90s with macular degeneration who are bowling strikes. Like 80 and 90-year-old moaning about their 140 averages. I'm lucky to hit 140 on a good day.
