Facebook Goals and a Call for Suggestions: Feedback Friday

As we cap off the last full month of spring, and prepare for a and unpredictable Chicagoland weather, the comment count is getting low on Chicago Heights Patch.

Sure we've got articles like "Tempers Flare Between District 206 Board Members" and "" getting plenty of attention from our more outspoken readers like "," and "," but how about adding some new blood to the conversations?

I've heard from some community members that series such as , and are much appreciated, but the conversations on these articles are few and far between. Send me your Whiz Kid nominations and House Hunt suggestions! I care what you think.

Oh, and how about a nomination for a Remarkable Resident? Our last nomination was , whose story was told way back in early March. I know we have plenty more awesome people in Chicago Heights, Olympia Fields and South Chicago Heights. Point them out to me!

Or, better yet, how about starting some new conversations altogether?

Suggest an idea for a new series to me by posting it in the comments for this article. It could be about anything. The best Italian Ice flavors at . Weekly athletic competitions between two city officials (chosen by you). Anything.

Be creative.
