Thanks Josh, Sheryl and Pete. It has been an honor to cover these everyday heroes! I tell everyone, I have been to a lot of places but you will not find people ANYWHERE like you do in Chicago Heights, they truly care about helping others and the community, I look forward in continuing the tradition.

ReplyLa Fajita Grill is right next to Ace Hardware on 167th & Oak Park ave. The owner makes sure all the food is handmade and fresh. The meat used is grade A, I've been going to LaFajita Grill for 4 years, never had a bad taco! 5 stars.

I agree with you Arthur. Chicago Heights area has some of the greatest people you will ever meet. It was an honor to listen to Dr. Irons story. No matter what happens in Chicago Heights, most of the residents are proud to be here and work hard to keep it a great city. There are so many heroes stories that need to be told from Chicago Heights, so please contact Chris and keep them coming on Patch.com!

ReplyCalvary Church in Orland Park has success in helping the addicted. They have a new Recovery service at 5PM on Saturdays as well as a Recovery Class at 7pm on Mondays. Also faith based Teen Challenge Chicago live in program accepts men over the age of 18, their phone number is 773-772-2211. There is help out there, you have to network to find what works for the individual.
