HILLVIEW — Jim Eadens has been through a lot during his 16 years as mayor of the city of Hillview.

He’s gone through a lot in the job and away from the office.

But the guy is not phony. You know exactly what he is thinking.

A couple of months ago, a group of residents who live in Pioneer Village and Fox Chase went on the attack. The city had approved a rezoning for apartments off the John Harper Highway. The property is close to residents in the other two municipalities.
