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 COVER: Homewood police officers and local youth play water balloon toss at National Night Out, Aug. 2 at Irwin Park. (Eric Crump/H-F Chronicle)

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 our vibrant community without adequate news coverage. Our focus is on Homewood and Flossmoor, providing news by, about, and for the H-F community. Anyone interested in joining the team should write to [email protected].
