Last weekend I took a break from the weekend reviews, but not I am back with your weekly dose of entertainment options this weekend! Chicago has turned chilly with fall winds and colored leaves this week. I walk to the train in a scarf and gloves in addition to the wool coat now. I have noticed that […]
Dance Chicago is a wonderful festival that runs all through November with several different programs that feature local Chicago Dance Troupes performing different styles of dance. Every dance troupe taking part in the festival is top notch and puts on a spectacular show. Even if you don’t know much about dance, you should go and […]
I got my Oak Park FYI newsletter in the mail today and it has a mention that a new condo tower will be built at South Avenue and Harlem Avenue in Oak Park. Don’t we have enough condos in Oak Park? At any given moment in the current housing crash and real estate meltdown there are over 500 […]
Everyone is getting into the Halloween spirit now that the holiday is only about 2 weeks away! This includes lots of office Halloween candy, Pumpkins everywhere, costume shopping and the annual trek to your local Haunted House. If you live in the city of Chicago or are going downtown to the loop, you can visit […]

Friday October 12: […]
If Chicago is known for anything at all, it is for good food. (and a lot of it) We have a bit of a revolving door with restaurants though. Most only last about 5 years and then perish to newer trends and styles of food. The ones that do survive either have an iconic brand, […]
I was startled to find out that there are red light cameras monitoring the intersections on Boughton Road in Bolingbrook, IL now. These cameras are taking photograph evidence of cars at the intersection in order to write tickets. These thing they call violations are hardly so. They have been sending $100.00 tickets to people who […]
It’s starting to feel a lot like Fall in Chicago. (or Autumn if you call it that) The leaves aren’t all turning just yet, but in a week they should be in peak colors. This weekend there is plenty to do in Chicago and the Suburbs. Hey, why not get a jump on your Christmas Shopping? […]
Christopher Columbus was an important explorer that taught us not to believe conventionally when people tell you that the world is flat and to persevere on until you get the best deals on sales named in his honor. Or something like that. I think today any historical significance has been lost since the marketers got […]
