At the risk of sounding like a fearful far-Western suburbanite, I'd like your opinion on how safe Columbus Park is. Its pictures are beautiful, and it's even designated a National Historic Landmark l…

Great Local Business Experiences
I had a great experience at Divine Consign (Quality Eco-Chic Home Furnishings Revisited). We strolled in last weekend, just for a quick dekho and ended up strolling out with "new" dining room furnitu…

Does the Fortune mag touch on the fact that ALDI and TJ's have the same owner? I
My favourite at Trader Joe's is their masala burger. Frozen patties of delicious veggies. It's not pretending to be a real burger, and I love it. It's also really authentic (as Indian burgers go ;) ), and I haven't met an Indian introduced to it tha…
Angela - you've motivated me to get all natural remedies from my Grandma when I visit her!!
Thanks, Al!
Angela - I got inspired and signed up for the class. :) The gentleman who signed me up was very friendly and courteous. While I'm there, I'm hoping to have a healthy lunch before the class too! Hope I remember to take pics before the food's all gone…
The food looks *delicious*! Thanks for the link to their site - scouted around there, and they have an 'icecream' class that I'm tempted to sign up for. What's better than desserts that're good for me?! Nothing. :D
No worries. Always happy to help someone find a better place to run.
Thank you so much for your posts, Jassen and Kristy!
Jassen - I saw out Leonard's pictures (thanks for the link!) - and Columbus park seems to have so many hidden gems! I cannot wait to check it out! I'm planning to bike through it tomorrow and hope…
I haven't run in Columbus Park, but I have run and biked on the Thatcher trail. I would agree with Jassen, I have never felt un-safe on the Thatcher trail. Not a lot of people use it, so some people might find that to be more unsafe. On the other ha…
Leonard touched on this question back in early April in a post you can find here. That might be of some help.
That said, I have run a lot of mile in both Thatcher and Columbus and the time of day and time of year make a big difference in terms of w…
And by 'single' there, I mean 'lone'. :D

I highly recommend 'Karyn's Cooked'. Especially their bread pudding. A *sin* to eat!! And it's not that far either from OP. An El ride and a quick change to the Brown Line will get you there. For something a little bit fancier and a special occasion…
Wow! I love the project!!
For my Earth Day part - I biked and Metra-ed to work. And am going to do so every week. :D
Looking forward to trying it out! Thanks for the vegan options on the menu! This weekend's going to be extra hectic for you - good luck!!
Made this last night -- it's delicious! Thanks!
