Hundreds turn out for the annual National Night Out along Oak Park Avenue.
After moving from Harlem to Oak Park Avenue this year, organizers were happy Tuesday with the turnout at Tinley Park's annual National Night Out Against Crime. Hundreds of people at Zabrocki Plaza in downtown Tinley near the Oak Park Avenue Train Station got free pizza, free ice cram, free insurance quotes and so much more during the evening-long event. Several booths located in the parking lot featured various services for people looking to the village for business opportunities. See our accompanying photo gallery for a glimpse of the action.
