If you haven't been reading our Local Voices blogs, you've been missing some great takes and views from--and on--the Frankfort and Lincoln-Way communities.

In just the past few days, five new bloggers have started posting entries to Frankfort Patch. Their topics run the gamut, from local restaurants and foods to a special fundraiser for a Summit Hill and Lincoln-Way North alumnus.

Here's a peek at the lineup:

• The Kitchen Curmudgeon: Joe Pratl writes about food and area restaurants. His first entry looks at Tinley Park's Grand Buffet.

• Have a Heart for Connor: This blog is dedicated to helping Connor Gill, a Frankfort resident who needs $38,000 to repair his wheelchair. The first entry from the organizers talks about a Jan. 27 benefit for Connor.

• Lincoln-Way History: David A. Belden looks at some of our area's history and landmarks. His first entry shines a spotlight on the Bowman Dairy Company in Mokena.

• Yoga 360 Studio and Spa: The staff of this yoga studio discusses issues concerning health and wellness. The first entry by owner and instructor Colleen Rose talks about making new year revolutions instead of resolutions.

• South Suburban MoveOn Council: The organization features economic and social issues from a progressive perspective. The first entry puts context on some economic questions.
