📰 News we're reading
• Quantum Real Estate Advisors Brokers $2.8M Sale of New Strip Center in Huntley, Illinois (cremarketbeat.com) — A newly built three-tenant strip center on IL-47 in Huntley has sold for $2.8 million, signaling continued investor confidence in the village's growth. With tenants like Jimmy John's and JC Licht already in place, the buyer gains stable income while betting on Huntley's expanding housing and retail development along this key corridor. 
• Prairie Ridge not ready to flush season: McHenry County Week 6 notebook (shawlocal.com) — Prairie Ridge's struggling football team is preparing to host undefeated Huntley, whose explosive offense is averaging just over 51 points per game and recently routed Jacobs 47-6. With Huntley already celebrating a dominant homecoming win in town, Friday's matchup could either deepen Prairie Ridge's winless season or become a statement game against one of McHenry County's hottest teams.
• A Veritable Roll Call of Aviation Rarity (generalaviationnews.com) — A vintage-aircraft fly-in in Brodhead, Wisconsin, drew more than 200 classic planes, including a 1948 Piper Vagabond based at Landings Condominium in Huntley. Local pilot Bill Sponsler, an American Airlines captain, regularly flies his Huntley-based Vagabond to the event, highlighting how area aviators connect our community to this nostalgic Midwestern aviation gathering each year.
