Flossmoor, Illinois is the next door neighbor to Homewood. The town has a lot more ordinances than Homewood and can be seen as uptight. Well, there are a few good things in Flossmoor.

“Bum” is a job for all people. No matter what ganders or age. Sometimes a bum can make more than a part time job worker.
