At 1,265 "Likes," the Homewood-Flossmoor Patch Facebook is slowly inching its way toward the 1,300 mark, and there's nobody to thank but you, the loyal readers. Our Facebook page was a flurry of activity Tuesday night as readers chimed in with tips about some heavy police activity—including K-9 units and a Cook County helicopter—near Idlewild Country Club, which turned out to be a search for a man who had escaped police custody earlier that day. Our readers helped fill in a lot of the details while the police were still unable to comment on the situation. Here's what some of them had to say as the story developed: Our latest Minutes with the Mayor post featured Homewood's village president, Richard Hofeld, answering the question, "What is …

We've done it. Yep, we've done it now. We've passed 1,200. There's so many to thank. You, readers, mostly—rather, completely. Thanks for helping to steadily boost our Facebook "likes."

Here's what some of them had to say: For the Fourth of July, we asked readers if they are "down" with illegal fireworks. Here's what turned up in the comments.
