In a new weekly series, Patch asks readers how they would fill empty storefronts around Lemont.
Last month, Lemont Patch readers offered dozens of great suggestions for the empty Sears building on State Street, as well as the old Wendy's, as part of our new "Vision for Vacancies" series. This week, we're shifting our focus to the Front Street Lofts in downtown Lemont. The Lofts boast 82 residences and more than 24,000-square feet of retail space. The condos are nearly full—only a dozen remain on the market—but there is still plenty of commercial place for future restaurants, shops or offices. Front Street Cantina, Edward Jones Investments and the Front Street Lofts office currently occupy three of the main storefronts along Front Street, but there is still plenty of space for rent. What would you like to see move into the Front …

A fundraiser will be held at 6 p.m. March 10 at Front Street Cantina to raise money for the FF/PM Christopher D. Wheatley Memorial Foundation.
Family and friends of fallen Chicago firefighter Christopher Wheatley will continue to honor his memory in the coming years with the expansion of a memorial scholarship program. Almost immediately after the 31-year-old Lemont native died battling a West Loop blaze in August 2010, several family members set up a scholarship fund for students at Lemont High School, from which Christopher graduated in 1997.

Wheatley Memorial Foundation awarded its first two $1,000 scholarships—one for a student-athlete and one for a student interested pursuing a career in medicine or fire science. This year, the foundation will again award scholarships to a pair of Lemont High School seniors, but will expand the program …
