Opening night is in less than two weeks, and the cast of "Artificial Hinstelligence" is rehearsing at The Community House. Bags of high-heeled shoes, pairs of sequined gloves and a sack of Santa outfits are strewn about the room, raising some questions about what crazy plot twists this year's show will take. Choreographer Amanda Snooks is leading a group through a dance number on stage while Hinsdale's Tim Fowler works through an Elton John song with help from music director G...

Now that I have polished off the last of my Girl Scout cookies, paczki and Valentine's chocolates, it is time to lace up my gym shoes and burn off the extra layer that has been keeping me warm this winter. The weather is getting better, the sun is setting later and the half marathon I foolishly signed up for is suddenly just around the corner. As lazy as I can be over the winter, I genuinely miss being outside and moving around. In addition to training for my race, I'll be...

He hopes to encourage others to contribute as well by matching donations up to a substantial amount. "It's a real good project and I'm glad to be able to...
With Valentine's Day just around the corner, things are heating up in Hinsdale - especially where benefit fundraising events are concerned. In thinking about all things pink-and-red-related, I would be remiss not to mention Misericordia Women's League's annual Heart of Gold Benefit, this year titled, "As Gold as It Gets." Since its inception in 1996, the Misericordia Women's League has hosted this benefit gala, which has grown to attract more than 650 guests. This year's...

Our first date might not have happened if my husband had known I could cook. I had gone to a concert with a small group of friends. As I was getting in my car, my friend Mark invited me to an impromptu dinner at his apartment. Thrilled but now nervous, I fumbled my car keys. I watched as they went flying and managed to wedge themselves in the seat. At this point, I had lost all hope of looking graceful. But he was kind and patient as I finally managed to fish them out....

He gets along very well with other dogs and would do best in a home with a canine friend who can help him be brave. Rip is approved for children 8 and...
Meatballs come in about as many varieties as you can imagine, with different kinds of meats and fillers. I once judged a meatball contest and ate one that contained raisins. But at Altamura in Hinsdale, the meatball is kept simple. One single ingredient is key to making the meatballs tender and delicious. "This is our imported bread. This is what I use for bread crumbs," said Carmela St. John, who owns the Italian take-and-bake pizza and specialty shop with her husband,...

There is a time and a place for everything, and few years back I decided both the time and the place had passed for the rectangular space in my backyard that housed my now-grown children's playset. That space had once been shaded by a large 200-year-old oak but was now bathed in full sunlight after having to remove the diseased tree. As I looked out our kitchen window wondering what would take its place, it hit me - we should transform the space into a vegetable garden! That s...

The primary care physician, or PCP, is the quarterback of your healthcare team. You go to your PCP for things like annual checkups, prevention and management of diseases, and care for injuries and illnesses. If more specialized care is needed, your PCP will help you connect with the appropriate doctor and follow your care with that doctor. Generally, your PCP comes from one of three specialties: family medicine, pediatrics or internal medicine. You can choose any doctor with...

Hinsdale Central senior Caroline Walsh didn't watch "SpongeBob Square Pants" as a kid. But the Hinsdale resident is having a great time playing one of its main characters, Patrick Star, in the Stage Door Fine Arts production set to open Jan. 26 (see Page 24 for details). "It's such a fun role," said Walsh, who has been doing Stage Door shows since second grade. "He's so goofy and I feel like it's not what I usually do, so I was really excited to be able to do it." The group...
It's January in Hinsdale! You know what that means - after the New Year's champagne glasses are washed and the holiday decorations come down, we inevitably start thinking about escaping to a warmer climate. Some of us are working on spring break plans and some of the snowbirds among us have already flown south for the winter. (Florida and Arizona, I'm lookin' at you!) Well, if you're finding yourself dreaming of in-line skating on the beach like Barbie (and Ken), the Hinsdale...

More than a year ago, Hinsdale Central drum major Deona Julary was given an umbrella along with an invitation for the Hinsdale Central Marching Band to participate in London's New Year's Day Parade. Her instructions? Keep the umbrella on her person to ensure good weather for the parade. She did as she was told. "The umbrella did work," Julary said Monday after returning home from a six-day trip to London. "It was raining every single day in London except parade day, and we are...
This is the time of year when every outlet publishes its “best of” lists. The Hinsdalean wanted to get in on the action, with a local twist. So here are the favorite books, performances and TV shows as recommended by folks who live and work in our favorite town. “The best book I read in 2023 is one that actually came out in 2022 — ‘An Immense World’ by Ed Yong.
