GLENVIEW, IL — While a slight majority of local residents feel the speed in which the state has eased coronavirus-related restrictions has been too fast, a much larger number admit being uncomfortable eating out at a restaurant or bar, according to a recent Patch survey. Last Friday, the state moved into Phase 4 of Gov. J.B. Pritzker's Restore Illinois plan.
