  1. That is 1 – 2 blocks from Fox River Grove Middle School, which is one of two schools in Fox River Grove District 3.

    The other school in the district being Algonquin Road Elementary School.

    ++++++++++++

    The kids in that district go on to attend Cary Grove High School in Cary in High School District 155.

    The other high schools in CHSD 155 are:

    – Crystal Lake Central HS

    – Crystal Lake South HS

    – Prairie Ridge HS.

    ++++++++

    So if there’s been a change of behavior in any of the kids attending those schools, there’s something to think about.

    ++++++++

    Here is another example of the variety of drugs from a single supplier.

    A common thought is, it’s just marijuana, no biggie.

    But the same supplier can give the person a freebie opiate or or other drug, with the hopes they will buy some in the future, growing revenues and expanding business.

    Interesting no forms of heroin were found.

    Maybe that’s another supplier or they didn’t have any in stock.

  2. Mark,

    Are you advocating legal marijuana?

    Like Alabama says, move it out of the blackmarket.

    If you are good.

    If not you are perpetuating the BS regarding marijuana.

  3. Did anyone look up these kids criminal backgrounds? There’s NO WAY they can get away with this. They sold near a school? Keep these negative souls inside the gates please!
