White Castle opens Sunday in New Lenox

White Castle slides into New Lenox this weekend when the restaurant chain opens its newest store at 9 a.m. Sunday at 401 E. Lincoln Highway (in front of the new Walmart) after a private ribbon cutting ceremony this morning. The restaurant will be open 24 hours a day.
Cornerstone Café closes
You can’t fault Chad Reno for not trying. He took over Millie’s Ice Cream at 5172 W. 95th St. in Oak Lawn at the end of 2008. When that floundered, he shut down and after tinkering with the menu reopened last Memorial Day as the Cornerstone Café. Alas, that effort has also failed. Reno closed the café for good on Jan. 30.
But the café may yet return. Reno said on the Oak Lawn Patch he might try reopening in the Oak Lawn Library, which has lost its in-house coffee house yet again with the recent closing of Bonjour Café, which just opened in November.
Lynnie Ques opens second location
Lynn Cartwright just opened the second location for her barbecue restaurant Lynnie Ques at 519 Chicago Road in Thornton, just south of Thornwood High School. The restaurant is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from noon to 6 p.m. on Sunday. The phone number of the new store is 708-877-1111. The website is http://www.lynnieques.com/. The original Lynnie Ques just celebrated its second anniversary at 19267 Burnham Ave. in Lansing.
Tattoo school closes in Tinley
