Here's some local news from the Will/Grundy area:

An article in the Joliet Herald about an upcoming Garden Walk on June 28. I touch on this article because an event like this really drives home how much landscaping can improve a home for sale.

Gus Macker 3-on-3 basketball tourney returns to Morris this weekend, as reported in the Joliet Herald. The tournament is a great example of how the business owners of Downtown Morris work to keep their area vibrant. I don't know how much sales revenue those attending the tourney generate (I suspect not a great deal), but the tourney, along with the car shows and other events, keeps Downtown Morris relevant in the public eye. Morris is one of the few remaining "Mayberry" settings that has held up to urban sprawl.

This article in the Morris Daily Herald discusses the new school boundaries for District 201 in Minooka. Only one thing is constant in the growing metropolis of Minooka…change. It appears, though, that school administrators were able to keep the change of schools for students to a minimum.

I've been so tied up in putting together the Foreclosure Bus Tour (plus a few other projects) that I forgot to mention that I made the cut again for the Carnival of Real Estate. This time it was for the 92nd Carnival that was hosted by Salt Lake Real Estate Blog for my post Builder Bankruptcy & A Pallet of Sod. Thats 2 for 2 on submissions.

Thanks Nigel for the honor.
