"Leverage" follows a five-person team who use their skills to right corporate and governmental injustices inflicted on ordinary citizens. The "Leverage" crew is led by former insurance investigator turned thief, Nate Ford (Academy Award® Winner Timothy Hutton). His cohorts include Sophie Devereaux (Gina Bellman), a brilliant grifter; Eliot Spencer (Christian Kane), a retrieval specialist; Alec Hardison (Aldis Hodge), a gadget and technology wizard; and Parker (Beth Riesgraf), a slightly off-center thief adept at rappelling off buildings.<br /><br />

They were lured by the fragrance of the lilacs and the showcase of the Lilac Parade in May. A year later, they convinced my Father to purchase a second family home in Lilac Town near St. Pius X Catholic Church and School, Westmore Elementary School, the Community Church, and the Illinois Secretary of State Motor Vehicles Facility at the Eastgate Shopping Center. Madison Meadows Park added a plus during the Fourth of July Lombarfest only one block within walking distance to watch Independence Day fireworks and rock music concerts booming all night nearby...our second Lombard house.<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />The Village of Lombard is a real estate haven for family looking to live the America Dream of owning your own home in the western suburbs...far away from the maddening crowd.<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />The big surprise came after Lombard Real Estate property taxes skyrocketed from $2,500 for the original Lombard home to $5,999, ten (10) years after September 2, 1993. In addition, the Lombard Water and Sewage Billing Charges began to escalate three times as much, especially when our family was working and not flushing the toilet, washing, or doing dishes in the kitchen.<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">What makes Lilac Town unique?</i> Not only are the lilacs fragrant to visitors, but also to intruders who trespassed in my Lombard garden to cut off branches from my Lilac Bush. Trespassers also entered through the shed door and made themselves at home when our family members were working.<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Unexpected incidents began to take place after our family members returned home from work, especially after midnight. While people were sleeping, Lombard intruders walked into our bedroom and started to pull us from the Master Bed, injecting drugs to silence screaming. Kidnappings after midnight take place in Lilac Town. Entrapment and Police Crime really ruins Lilac Town for everyone.<sup style="color: #457185; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> 1 comment</sup><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="2683-76577f7381460ffe01a30b856dac8ed6" style="color: black; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"></a></div><div class="feedbackbox" style="background-color: #d8d8d8; border-radius: 5px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'Liberation Sans', FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; position: static; width: 700px; z-index: 10000;"><div class="existingcomments" id="2683-76577f7381460ffe01a30b856dac8ed6comments" style="margin: 0px; overflow: auto; padding: 5px;"><div class="paragraphcommentwrap1938" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><table style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><tbody style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
