You @#$*$, don't light up my life

Here's a fellow worthy of enshrinement in the Southland's "Hall of Shame."

Maybe Barry Galloway thought the guy in the truck behind him was "winking" at him. A flashing of headlights in the drive-thru lane of an Oak Lawn fast-food restaurant on 111th Street last week apparently enraged the manly Galloway, who decided he could not sit idly by for any "winking" or "blinking" or headlight shenanigans.

Cops say the 38-year-old Galloway got out of his car and threatened the driver behind him -- with a stick. The truck driver told police he turned his lights off because they are too bright and usually bother people in the drive-thru. Galloway, of Chicago, was charged with assault.

South Side's St. Leo High School home to 'a gathering and a mission'

The Southland is full of St. Leo High School alumni, some of whom head back to the old neighborhood to check up on the school and its teams. Chicago News Cooperative sports writer Dan McGrath highlights such a moment in his piece "At Leo High, a Gathering and a Mission."

A full house of 800 turned out for Friday’s Catholic League showdown with Brother Rice. The makeup of the crowd was as remarkable as its size — it included about 200 white folks, Leo graduates on an alumni outing, most of them bused in from a Knights of Columbus Hall in the Mount Greenwood neighborhood roughly six miles away, probably as many whites as have been inside the school since the 1980s.

Over the last 40-odd years, Bob Foster has made it his "life's mission" to keep St. Leo open. Check out McGrath's take on the lifelong venture.

Just A Pizza opens in Tinley Park

Just A Pizza Chicago Style, which opened Jan. 24 at 7108 W. 183rd St. in Tinley Park, is a family affair. The pizzeria is owned by three siblings – Tony Rojas, Al Rojas and Rose Siegel – and Siegel provided all of the recipes.

Tony Rojas, of Worth, said food has been the family business for a while.

“My brother owned a beef stand in Wisconsin for years, and my sister used to sell homemade cheesecakes online,” said Tony Rojas, adding he’s been in the business with his brother for the past six years.

Rojas said the siblings chose Tinley Park for their venture because “it’s a growing community and the people are outgoing.”

Just A Pizza serves thin crust, stuffed and deep dish pizza, wings, sandwiches, some pasta dishes and Eli’s cheesecake.

The restaurant offers carryout and delivery to the Tinley Park area. Hours are Sunday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. The phone number is 708-429-0400.
