Tandoor &Tadka Closed

 Looks as if Tandoor and Tadka has closed. Not sure if or when  the restaurant will reopen but it sure has a lot of health department violations to correct

Little Caesars

 Little Caesars has reopened after closing for several days last week. According to what I have heard, a customer spotted a cockroach crawling on the floor, canceled their order and called the Health Department, which pulled the pizzeria's permit until an exterminator was called in  and the location passed another inspection.

Poplar Camp Beach

 The Illinois Department of Public Health has tested water samples from Poplar Camp Beach and bacteria levels are back to safe readings so the beach has reopened. Given the temperatures expected this week, that is a good thing.

Jackson County Health Department Survey

 JCHD has an online survey asking what the public feels are the biggest public health needs in the county. You can access it here. Results will be posted on the department's website in late August

Jackson County

 The Jackson County Health Department is hosting a residential hazardous waste opportunity this Saturday from 8 a.m. to 3 pm.  If you want to recycle something larger than 5 gallons, you have to provide an explanation. Otherwise, sign up here. 

Bye Bye Boxty?

After opening with a lot of ballyhoo last fall, it appears Kelly's Irish Boxty House gave up the ghost over the summer. There's a sign in the window saying it would re-open June 11 after break, and this notice was posted by the Jackson County Health Department on Sept. 4th, telling the owner not to reopen without contacting the Health Department regarding food.
