The 8,700-square-foot facility in Orland Hills, dubbed a DMV+, is a "one-stop destination" for driver and vehicle services, along with a number of other offerings that would otherwise require a trip to Secretary of State facilities in Springfield or Chicago.

No doubt, it was an important election, but not the most important our country has ever had.

Shine On at Frankfort’s Lighting of the Green

The Village of Frankfort invites residents to celebrate its annual Lighting of the Green on Thursday, Dec. 3, at 6:30 p.m. at Breidert Green. Inspired by the beloved holiday classic, “It’s a Wonderful Life,” this year’s celebration embraces three simple but powerful themes: Kindness. Generosity. Hope; as the Frankfort community reflects on the challenges it has faced and the strength it has found in coming together. As part of this year’s celebration, residents are encouraged to think about how they can be someone’s light. It might mean helping a neighbor, offering encouragement to a friend, sharing what you have with someone in need, or simply letting someone know they matter. These everyday acts of kindness are what bring a community together and make it shine. The evening will feature including live holiday music performed by the HCMS Choir, free hot cocoa and cookies, a special light projection on the Grainery Tower, and the grand illumination of Breidert Green. Santa and Mrs. Claus will also be there to greet families and pose for holiday photos. Residents are also invited to bring a canned good or nonperishable food item to help those in need.
