📰 News we're reading

• Hinsdale Poised To Spend $1.4M On New Kiddie Pool (patch.com) — Families in Hinsdale may soon see a major upgrade at the Hinsdale Community Pool, as the village board is set to vote on a $1.4 million replacement of the aging kiddie pool that's been shut down since 2025. The project, prompted by serious underground leaks and outdated accessibility standards, would add new Vortex-branded water play features, with construction planned for this fall and reopening targeted for next year.
