Still playing catch up here, and I’m assuming you are, too. So although I have a couple posts — the D99-Park District negotiations and the Bring Back Heritage Facebook Group — kicking around, begging to see the light of day, I will most likely not get to them until after Christmas. But, hey, we all [...]
Nancy Boutcher, who correctly guessed the DGreport would log its millionth hit on Friday, Dec. 4. Thanks to all who participated.
That’s ONE MILLION hits, as of about 2 p.m. today. But dang, the counter jumped from 999,998 to 1,000,001 while I was refreshing so I missed a screen shot of the Big Number. And, yes, we have a winner, who will be announced on Monday.
Last call for the Million Hit Contest here at the DGreport. I’m thinking those of you who have entered are going to want to reconsider your guesses, given that the hit total stood at 724, 211 just two days ago. Send your best guess on when the stats counter will mark my millionth hit to [...]

For many of [...]

Lots of good reasons to do so — today is both Thanksgiving (I’m cooking) and my wedding anniversary, tomorrow is my niece’s birthday, my firstborn just got his first college admittance letter and my baby is still humming [...]
With the stats counter coming up on the DGreport‘s millionth hit — that’s 1,000,000 — since April 2008, how better to celebrate than with a friendly contest? I will award a $1,000,000 $10 gift certificate for use at downtown Downers Grove shops and restaurants to the reader who comes closest to the day of the [...]
Thoman’s recent posts on red-light cameras and the mayor’s response to Tuesday’s tax levy vote have raised the hackles of some readers. But in the words of the sage Stuart Smalley, “that’s okay.” It’s also to be expected from a blog that encourages an active exchange of viewpoints. In case you’re wondering, no one expects [...]
As the wife of, daughter of, niece of and cousin of men who served in the military, I appreciate having a day set aside each year to recognize their service and the even greater sacrifices made by so many others. In six years of writing my Sun column, I’ve taken the opportunity to highlight the [...]
