Lyons is the hidden jewel of Chicago's Western suburbs. The FIRST Lyons community page ever!
Operating as usual
Huge thank you to McCook for hosting the village Christmas party! Would have been nice to have it in Lyons, but there just isn’t a venue large enough in town to accommodate such a festive event. If PJ Klem’s steps up to the plate with a nice campaign donation, we’ll reconsider for 2022. Merry Christmas!!!

Lyons police are investigating after a pair of brothers claimed they had buried their mother and sister in the backyard of their home.
Hello loyal Lyons Living people!!! Just popping in to let you know about an awesome garage sale tomorrow!

Added bonus, you might even bump into some Lyons Living admins! What a magical place Lyons is!!!
Sorry we’ve been away folks. The group was hacked. Not sure how they got in, but we suspect that Mike Lancaster character was involved. The Feb AND March Lyons Lions will be announced this week. Until then, enjoy this amazing video!!

If you grew up in the near-west Chicago suburbs in the 1990s, you might remember this arcade in Lyons. Stumbled onto this commercial going through old VHS ta...
And now, the moment you've all been waiting for! The Lyons Lion of the Month for January 2021! This was entirely unexpected- we got more messages than ever before! Dozens of Lyons Living devotees reached out to nominate fellow members for the award, but one individual popped up in more messages than anyone else. We were told that this person simply "IS Lyons!" and also that "he's a great guy to grab a beer with!" Congratulations to the Lyons Living Lion of the Month for January 2021- Steve Shepski! We're told Steve is a REAL Lyons Living member- a lifelong resident (unlike so many of the haters!) Steve supports local businesses whenever possible, whether he's hitting flyballs at Stella's batting cages, grabbing a delicious pizza from Waterworks, or tipping one back at a local watering hole!
Unfortunately, given the pandemic situation, we won't be able to have an actual "passing of the torch" from our 2020 winner to Mr. Shepski, but we are optimistic that things will improve by the end of the year and we'll be able to round up all the 2021 winners for a very special Lyons Living meet & greet! Stay safe out there folks! Lyons Living masks are currently in production to keep you safe out there!
We already have LOTS of submissions for the next Lyons Lion of the month, but you have TWO MORE DAYS to stuff the ballot box! Just message us and we’ll keep rallying the votes until Wednesday at 7PM! The new Lyons Lion will be unveiled on Friday!
Merry Christmas from all of us at Lyons Living!! We hope you all had a wonderful, socially distant holiday! We’re one week away from the announcement of the Lyons Lion of the month for January 2021!!
The long awaited Covid-19 vaccine is being shipped across the country!! We have sent a notice to the state of Illinois that the staff at Stella’s should get the Covid vaccine first. No one in this town is more essential than them!! #stellas #baseball #food #Lyons
Okay folks, you've been patiently waiting for the big December 1st announcement, and here it comes! We at Lyons Living have been hard at work since we launched this site waaaaay back in 2009 as 'Lyons, IL.' We were here BEFORE the village had a page! We were here before the 'other' Lyons Living, and we owe it all to your unwavering support. Okay, enough bragging- let's get to the news! Messages from our fans gave us the idea to create a very special award-the "Lyons Living Lion of the Month" award! Since we're starting this so late in the year, our first award winner is basically the Lyons Living Lion... of the year!!! Without further ado, lets get to the presentation...
So many of the messages we received mentioned this fine lady and we couldn't argue the fact that she's been a mainstay for years here at the real Lyons Living. She loves to get into witty banter with other members -and occasionally the admins 😉 She's Lyons to her very core. One of our staffers remembers her from back in the days of Grahovac's Tavern on Lawndale & 44th Pl! That's right, folks! Put your hands together for PATTIE GRAHOVAC-WISNESKI!!! The Lyons Living Lion of the year! Let's give her a nice big Lyons roar!!
A big announcement coming up on December 1st! Let’s get those 5 star reviews for this page rolling!
A big welcome to all the new friends we’ve made over the last week! We’re happy to have you become a part of the Lyons Living family!
All righty folks, we’ve been hard at work since the Pandemic started working on a new and improved LYONS LIVING for YOU! To help us get things rolling, we really need you to do something for us. PLEASE take a minute and give us a review! So many of the haters gave us trashy 1 star reviews and they’re dragging us down! We need some 5 star reviews to move us up before we kick off the all new Lyons Living! Thanks friends!!

We didn’t think we had to say this, but stay away from Hoffmann Tower! We drove over there today and saw WAY too many people gathered along the riverfront. There were also far too many people gathered around the Dollar Tree and no one was practicing safe social distancing! Stay home, people!!!
Ho, Ho, Ho!! It’s Christmastime again! We are planning to scale the Hoffmann Tower, hit some balls at Stella’s, grab some Waterworks pizza & cap Christmas Eve off with a relaxing cocktail at the upscale All Star lounge. What are some of your favorite Lyons Christmas traditions?
Now that the smoke has cleared, all is well in the good Village of Lyons. Our mayor has not been implicated in any wrongdoing and village services continue to run at a perfect 10/10 for our residents. 3 cheers for Lyons!! Hip, hip.....
Vindication!

MCCOOK, Ill. — Search warrants obtained by WGN Investigates revealed Cook County Commissioner Jeff Tobolski was a target of an FBI raid in the suburbs last week. The warrants specifically identify Tobolski, who is also the village president of McCook. Agents confiscated computer equipment and were...
Can you believe what’s going on in McCook??
We’re back! Over 800 members strong! Great stuff coming this summer to the original, REAL Lyons Living!
We are Lyons Living. We are NOT the Lyons Living that has members that get arrested for insane proclamations. We’re the good guys(and gals.)
Thanks to all our new fans!!! Big things coming soon to the REAL, ORIGINAL Lyons Living!
Sorry we've been away for a bit. All we can say now is... beware of the drones. Big Brother is watching. We've said too much
We are so close to 800 likes! Tell all your friends! To celebrate, we’re considering a very special get-together for our many fun loving supporters! Let’s get this great page up to 900 and have ourselves a little party. Around the office, we’ve got a few ideas for a great Lyons shindig. Where do you folks think we should have our big Lyons Living bash?
One of our fine members is also a member of the ‘other ‘ Lyons Living. If you want to chat with racist hillfolk, go over there. This is currently posted on their site. Read the comments. Terrible use of English and outright racism. Stay classy, other Lyons Living! Look in the comments to see the lovely words a wonderful LL member.
We would like to wish Lyons’ very own Luke Gregerson and the Houston Astros a hearty congratulations for winning the 2017 World Series!!! #GoLuke!
Do NOT look directly at the sun tomorrow! Unless you're a Berwynite.
We're really hoping for some decent slogan ideas. We have no plans to change 'Gateway to the West' to any of these mean-spirited proposals.
We're looking for a new village slogan! Get your creative juices flowing and send us your suggestions! We'll select the best entries and then YOU will get to pick the winner! YOUR VOICE COUNTS!!! Get your suggestions in at [email protected]!!!

The media conveniently left out the fact that these rats are in our town because BERWYN continuously traps rats and releases them in OUR village streets!!! We will not stand for this!!!!!

Joe Melone of Lyons has been using heavy-duty cage traps and pizza to snare the well-fed, destructive rats. CBS 2's Dave Savini reports.
Got a case of the Mondays? Lyons has the cure! Take a stroll along the river, grab a delicious meal at PJ Klems and rent the hottest new release from Lyons Home Video! #Lyons #mondayblues #carpediem

These are the places in Illinois with the most drug-addicted, violent, welfare receiving white populations in the Prairie State.
The village of Lyons is very thankful this season for one main thing: we're not Berwyn.
Once the storms clear out, should be perfect fishing weather out by the Hofman Tower!
Just in case you haven't been paying attention, we made the Hoffman dam disappear.
We hope the next birthday party for Hitler is held in a different town.
It's a beautiful day in Lyons, IL!
