The fireball-producing Orionid meteor shower and the October full hunter’s moon compete for attention in the skies over New Lenox.

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.
