Find a Cooling Station

With temperatures in the high 80s today and with many residents of La Grange and La Grange Park still without power, officials from both villages are asking for resident's help.

In separate newsletters, village officials asked that residents lend a hand by checking up on neighbors without power—especially older residents for whom the high temperatures can be especially dangerous.

In addition, both La Grange and La Grange Park have set up special cooling centers. Residents can go to the Village Hall in La Grange Park 24 hours a day to get out of the heat. La Grange officials are telling residents to go to La Grange Memorial Hospital for a cooling center set up there.

As of 4 p.m. yesterday, over 2,500 La Grange Park residents were still without power and ComEd has still not been able to give an estimate of when power will be fully restored. 

Village officials in La Grange Park said that after a phone conference with ComEd officials, the company said that some areas may remain without power for a few days.
