A judge called it "astonishing" after an Ingleside man was arrested in Waukegan for driving drunk for the ninth time just months after he was released from a nine-year prison sentence for DUI.

A 46-year-old Ingleside woman has been identified after she died when another driver crossed the centerline and struck her car head-on in Kenosha County, as her family says she "will be deeply missed."

San Francisco Good Neighbor Week closes out this week, and it has left its mark on the calendar: SF Civic Tech's hack night and a coffee-and-local-news meetup in the Ingleside both run under its banner.
