'There's A Kind of Hush All Over Oak Lawn'
Less than half of the Oak Lawn Village Board candidates responded to an invitation for a forum in which to answer residents' questions about their stands on village issues.
Oak Lawn residents hoping for a mayoral forum between the litigator and the optometrist, or the chance to see how village board trustee candidates compare side by side, are probably out of luck. Sign up for the Oak Lawn Patch newsletter and follow us on Facebook. With the local election a month away, there’s a kind of hush all over Oak Lawn. Apparently, some village board candidates were too busy to respond to an invitation by the Oak Lawn Chamber of Commerce to participate in a candidates’ forum, the organization that traditionally sponsors it. The likelihood of a forum taking place before the April 9 election—where voters can ask candidates’ if they support Advocate Christ Medical Center paying an impact fee to the village, or questions …

Business Comings & Goings: Famous Dave’s Reopens After Smashing Debut
Hostess outlet stores fall victim to company's pending liquidation, Oak Lawn local businesses hold first-ever 'Small Business Saturday' local shopping event and Black Friday hours for area shopping malls.
Famous Dave’s in Evergreen Park reopened Tuesday at 2 p.m. after its grand opening on Monday was interrupted by a car crashing through the front window. The barbecue restaurant at 2851 W. 95th St. will be open for business as usual today though the front of the building is sporting a wooden patch to cover the hole. Repairs are expected to be completed by sometime next week. No one was injured in the incident that happened just a few hours after the eatery opened to the public. Famous Dave’s is the third local business to survive a run-in with a car in recent months.

Oak Lawn Chamber moves into new digs, Wilsons Leather opens at Chicago Ridge Mall.
The combined Al's Beef and Nancy's Pizza at 5128 W. 95th St. in Oak Lawn closed at the end of business on Sept. 18. A receptionist at the corporate office in Orland Park confirmed the closing but had no details and requests for more information were not returned.

Business Comings & Goings: Oak Lawn Couple’s Dream for Field Advances
Hostess outlet store remains open for business after a car drives through the front window, remodeling complete at Chicago Ridge Mall AMC Theater 6 and more business news for Oak Lawn, Evergreen Park, Mt. Greenwood and Beverly.
The dream of Oak Lawn residents Michael and Denise Stillman to turn the site of the classic baseball movie “Field of Dreams” into All-Star Ballpark Heaven continues to move ahead. City officials in Dyersville, Iowa, voted last week to rezone the site from agricultural to commercial, which was needed for the Stillmans’ plan to build a 24-field baseball and softball complex on the land. Dyersville officials annexed the land in July. “This was absolutely a step forward,” said Denise Stillman. “We are still on target to close on the land at the end of August or early September,” she said. The Stillmans and the other investors, operating as Go the Distance Baseball LLC, announced last October they had a deal to buy the movie site, including …
