• Driver Found Asleep Behind Wheel; $9.8K Bank Fraud: Northbrook Blotter (patch.com) — Northbrook residents can see how local police spent a busy week, from DUI arrests at Dundee and Waukegan to a death investigation on Spring Hill Drive.

• Northbrook residents continue outcry over razing plaza; Board sends plan for more review (chicagotribune.com) — Northbrook officials have sent the controversial Meadow Plaza redevelopment plan to the Plan Commission for detailed zoning review after intense pushback from residents worried about losing everyday shops and adding dense condos.
