Ahoy dear reader, and welcome to this natty little blog. As an amateur historian for the Village of Mokena, Illinois, I'd like to introduce a few things here and there about my hometown. You've never heard of us? Don't worry, people 20 miles from here haven't either. Mokena (moh-KEE-nah) is a far southern suburb of Chicago, located in eastern Will County. We take up about six square miles in Frankfort Township, and have both a 708 and 815 area code.
I could drone on and on about statistics, but that's not what I'm about. (Besides...who cares about statistics?) I'm here to show you some unique things about Mokena. Aside from some cool stores, nice streets to cruise around, and all sorts of awesome people, we've got an absolutely awesome history.
So sit back, buckle up, and enjoy the ride!
About Me
- Matt
- Yo! I've been on TV more than 5 times describing what the tornado sounded like. I bask aggressively. I recently discovered that deep fryers are not toys, and I will be the first to capture a live giant squid. So, all things aside - I'm a librarian in the awesomest library this side of Chicago, so that means you better love books, old archivy stuff, hearing stories about the various freaks that come to visit us, and being terrified by tales of Orson, the Library Ghost.
