How about worst t-shirt? I vote the guy who wore "Guilty of Being White", which gave me the experience of explaining to my son what that meant and why it was stupid. Thanks, White Trash guy. Awesome Easter memory.   more ›

Share Your Spring Photos

It's spring, meaning the grass is getting green and there's a bright ball of fire in the sky that didn't seem to be there before.

Ah, the joys of spring. Birds are chirping, grass greening, days lengthening and everything is warming up. Which being in the Chicago area means it's going to snow three feet tomorrow. But until that does, share your photos of the signs of spring with us at Patch. Either attach them to this article (click "Add your photos & videos" below the big P) or e-mail them to pauld@patch.com. It's a beautiful time of year in a beautiful area. Share that with your neighbors and your community.

Local photographer Bob Dietz's picture of Old Zion Landmark Church was picked out of 50 entries from the community.

A shot of Landmark Church taken last year by local amateur photographer Bob Dietz will grace the 2010 Tinley Park Holiday Card. Dietz, 58, is a life-long Tinley Park resident with a life-long love of photography. "I've got aerial photos from the 1950s from my dad," Dietz said.

For his photo, Dietz was given a plaque, a $250 stipend and praise from village officials. Village Clerk Patrick Rea told Dietz he was "pleased" Dietz's photo was the winner among 50 community-submitted photos. "I've had the opportunity over the years of seeing many of your photos of Tinley Park, the plaza and the like and you've …
