There isn't a lot to know about the area..the town itself is located 20 miles south of Kankakee. There are no grocery stores, traffic lights, etc. There is one resturant in town, and one bank. If you are going to live in town, then you have to establish a post office box (the PO is located on Main Street in town) because there is no mail delivery. Most people have Comcast cable, although you can get a sattelite dish. Comcast also offers high speed internet in our town, and you have the usual phone companies to choose from. Electric company is AmerenCIPS, and gas is Nicor. Water and garbage bills come from the village of Ashkum. There is virtually no crime, and the neighbors are super friendly. The downside is that if you want to do anything...shopping, entertainment, have a job, you need to head either 20 miles north to kankakee or 20 miles south to Watseka.
As far as ordinances go, there is a town burn pile for leaves, branches and such. Otherwise, there are no major resitrictions that you need to worry about. It's a nice, quiet little town. The paper that we read is The Daily Journal out of Kankakee, but there is also a local paper called the Advocate that is printed once a week. Let me know if you have any more questions!
