High praise for Rolling Meadows

To the editor: I must bow down and thank all the men and women who have been working 24/7 keeping our streets and sidewalks in great shape. No matter how much it snows they are out there doing a fine job.

I have been to surrounding towns in the past two weeks. Their streets are not kept cleared. Corners are piled high with snow banks. Difficult to cross a street when you can't see oncoming traffic. Our public works keep corners cut down. Piles of snow are not allowed to build up for safety's sake.

So glad I live in Rolling Meadows, the city that really works and cares. While I am at it, I must also praise our great police and fire departments. They are all my heroes. In my opinion they are all the best departments in the state of Illinois.
