Realtors versus municipalities suit seen as affirmative marketing key
A district court counterclaim by the National Association of Realtors and the South Suburban Board of Realtors targets nine suburbs including Park Forest and Hazel Crest. They accuse the communities and the Housing Center of discriminatory practices that restrict minority access to housing. Mayor Ronald Bean says the suit could force clear guidelines, while leaders anticipate confusion before a hearing.

Rickshaw Finds Quiet Rest in Country Club Hills
In Country Club Hills a man powered rickshaw sits at a Cicero Avenue Shell station awaiting new wheels. Stan Kreczmer, owner of the vehicle, calls it a toy and a source of exercise and curious attention from passersby. The rickshaw, or jinrikisha, traces its origins to Asia and now travels as a pedal taxi or pedicab in other parts of the world.
