Homewood-Flossmoor Chronicle

Homewood-Flossmoor Chronicle The Chronicle is a home for the unfolding story of the Homewood/Flossmoor community. The Chronicle was created to remedy that situation.

ABOUT THE CHRONICLE: Every community needs a good source of local news. Historically, Homewood and Flossmoor enjoyed coverage by the local newspapers. About 10 years go local media organizations began shifting their attention elsewhere, leaving
