I would especially like it if they made their own sausage and they had really good quality ham, turkey, roast beef, pastrami, corned beef, etc, for slicing for sandwiches.
Thanks for sharing Paul. I'm going to check out the video!
Four students (including my daughter) from Pam Erickson's Food Service Managment class at OPRF appeared on the ABC-7 Morning News program Thursday morning. They prepared low-calorie, healthy versions of ordinarily high-calories meals. You can watch…
Crime rates aren't rising in O.P., so, yeah, it's more people's perceptions than reality. And cameras everywhere -- no thanks. They have cameras lots of places in Chicago and they still suffer the same sorts of crimes.
Bonnie Hunt's house in the movie she directed -- "Return to Me" -- is on the 700 block of south Elmwood. Hunt, Minnie Driver, and Jim Belushi filmed there for three days for a scene in the movie that takes about two minutes.
We rejoined the Y in January after a 10-year or so absence and we are very happy with it. After paying the enrollment fee, which can be spread out over a few months, a family membership is only about $80 a month. Plus, if you want to ease into an ex…
Caputo's has always been one of my favorite grocery stores -- I remember when it expanded at its last location, taking over the building adjacent to it. You still had to pick the right time to go there, to find a parking place and to avoid what seem…
I'd like to recommend Lon! He's dependable, reliable, honest, and...well, he's me!

I got some new glass panes from Schauer Hardware (Madison St in Forest Park). Cheap and super-quick (they cut about 20 different sized panes for me in a half an hour). The staff there is always the best.
I need a good electrician and a good drywall…
We have used Tayloe glass for a variety of projects over the years and have always been very happy with their work.
i have no handyman rec, but i have one for your window. we had tayloe glass replace a double pane window for us that wasn't cracked,but had a broken seal and was cloudy. it was a complicated job, they did a beautiful job, at a fair price.

Paul, sorry nobody has been able to give you any handyman suggestions. I'm wondering if folks have yet to find someone they'd be willing to recommend.
So, the list of small household chores that I am incompetent to do well, or at all, is adding up. Replacing a broken pane of glass. Fixing/replacing an outdoor gate. Some minor electrical work. Anyone have a local recommendation for a handyman who c…
Oak Park's Madison Ave. can't match the intimate feel of FP's, because of the width and length. But SOME parts of it could certainly look better and work better than they do now. When you think of things to do in the evening, you can think of a lot…
I'm not so against tall buildings as against the reasons for this building. Do we really need this many hotel rooms in Oak Park? Can we learn anything from the under utilized Trader Joe's building? And why can't village planners put their energies i…

- Wow. It's from your yard? I'm even more impressed. We want to try growing sunflowers next year.
If you have other Oak Park photos, feel free to upload them to the site. People enjoy looking at other members' pics. Our member Leo just posted some amazing ones earlier this week.
