Here’s the problem with finding out what’s happening in your own town: it means wading through the Facebook group — the rumors, the rants, the 47-comment pile-on about leaf blowers — plus five village websites, three school district pages, and a park district PDF from 2019.
So we do the wading for you. Every morning, we read the agendas, check the calendars, and put the whole town on a single page: five sections, same order, three minutes. What’s happening, what’s coming, what’s worth your Saturday — and one good thing, because there’s always one good thing.
No comments section. No algorithm. No outrage. Just your town.

Meadow Plaza: a public hearing on the proposed 150-home development — three six-story buildings and a public riverwalk — is set for October 6, 6:00 PM, at Techny Prairie. Here’s what the plan includes, and how to weigh in.
