Hunting for Local Clues, Day 5

Oak Lawn’s first Tour de Patch is just one day away, which means it’s time for another local clue in our weeklong scavanger hunt.

This Wednesday, June 27, Patchers will blanket with our zealous spirit, volunteer efforts and most importantly for you — LOTS of giveaways, such as free gift cards to anyone who utters the secret word, "Park Lawn,” to us while we are out and about that day.

It’s your editor’s way of thanking the best community that I’ve had the privilege of covering as a journalist, and I’ve covered my share of neighborhoods and towns.

As a preview, let's go on a virtual scavenger hunt!

Tell us where we can find this little Indian, and you will win a $5 gift card to Starbucks. The first person to email me with the correct answer at lorraine.swanson@patch.com wins.

Congratulations to Jeffrey Haak and Sharon Isztok for correctly identifying the penguin mascot on the Lang Ice House 95th Street and West Shore.
