Who has two thumbs and is passionate about local journalism? This guy! I have been covering the Lincoln-Way area since 2017. Not only do I report on the news that is essential to our communities, but I also live here. I shop at the same stores as you, dear reader. I witness and am impacted by the same events as you. I care about my community, just as you do. You will often find me out and about (in a Hawaiian shirt, most likely) looking for the stories that our readers care most about because they are the same stories that I care about.
See something you think is worth covering? Drop me an email at tj.kremer@patch.com. Or shoot me a text at 312-607-0686.
