An 18-year-old from Geneva died Sunday after an eastbound freight train struck him near the Western Avenue grade crossing in Geneva.

More than 116 years after the construction what later became John Gartner’s Eastside Bakery, the surviving structure at 115 Cedar Ave. in St. Charles has received historic landmark status.

During a student-led walkout protesting federal immigration arrests, three students from East Aurora High School were taken into custody by police, but video has some questioning police tactics.

Instead of demolishing a historic St. Charles landmark to build a parking lot, the church that owns the building is now planning to sell it to a Geneva developer who will rehabilitate the structure with help from the city.

Following a multiple-vehicle crash near St. Charles East High School, an alderperson is imploring the city to improve the safety of the roadway for students. She said parents are "nervous" for their kids getting safely to school.
