Molly B. Posted April 4, 2012 at 04:21 PM Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 at 04:21 PM THANK YOU! These links were very helpful. Now for local radio - are there any local radio stations or just the big ones coming out of Chicago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadWaterBill Posted April 4, 2012 at 06:13 PM Share Posted April 4, 2012 at 06:13 PM Sure wish I had seen this yesterday. I was fishing the Lemont Quarries and had a pleasant conversation with a Lemont LEO + one of the nicest Conservation (game Warden) Police officers I have ever met. Both young men are ALL for CCW in Illinois. I will be handing out fliers at the Des Plaines River Anglers Association meeting tonight At 7PM at The Outpost14929 Archer AveLockport I will try to get the name and phone # of the outdoor person on the Joliet radio station. I think he will help also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MightyWhitey Posted April 10, 2012 at 03:06 PM Share Posted April 10, 2012 at 03:06 PM Would someone double check the address/directions for this event. I don't live in Lemont any longer, but my parents still do. My Dad wants to attend, but he's getting 2 different addresses for the location of this building. One when he clicks into the link..........and another when he googled the name of the building just because he'd never heard of it. I grew up in Lemont, and have never heard of Alba St. either. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou Posted April 10, 2012 at 03:22 PM Share Posted April 10, 2012 at 03:22 PM I called the township and Alba is a new street. It is just east of I355 - 1 block north of 127th street.I was told there is a stoplight on 127th street east of I355 at Timberline Dr. with Peppers Auto repair on the corner. Turn north on Timberline and then take the first left turn onto Alba. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomersand Posted April 10, 2012 at 05:29 PM Share Posted April 10, 2012 at 05:29 PM I sent it to the local patch Editor for Oak Forest, and asked if she will send it along to the other editors in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still amazed each time I visit the P's on how much Lemont has changed. You used to be able to hunt in and around Lemont. Not so much any longer...........sad, very sad.

I do have a sneaking feeling that the ones I posted around the WS station plus the pile I left inside disappeared as soon as I left. The person working in the station was giving me some major league stink-eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilannoyed Posted April 14, 2012 at 02:52 AM Share Posted April 14, 2012 at 02:52 AM I'm planning on hitting as much as I can in some of the shopping centers around Willowbrook and Darien. Dominick's and Caribou Coffee no longer have bulletin boards, but Jewel does.I filled out the special form at the Indian Prairie Library to get it posted on the community events bulletin board. I have to go confirm that it was approved :Drunk emoticon: . I guess they do that to keep from people spamming the BBs. Got a pile of fliers and a stapler in the car. Maybe that's what the kids and I can do some more of in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To attack or be rude to him will not work in our favor. I hope he will come and we can show him the people inhis new district support this issue!

If he doesn't see the light and come to our side though we need to find an independent to challenge him in the general election!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
