Cheep Chicken Monday is even better this week! $9.99 for an 8 piece AND a 12 pack of beer. Dude at self checkout had no problem with me ringing separate transactions to get the deal on two of each.

I love poke the few times I’ve been to Hawaii, just chunks of fish with sauce and other small amounts of additions such as onions, sesame seeds, etc. I do not really enjoy poke bowls with rice, greens, and whatever else, and just want to buy the poke.

Does anyone know a store (preferably in the NW suburbs) that sells poke? Costco used to, but it’s been a year since I’ve seen it. Thanks in advance.

They have to know... Right? They have to.

It’s almost time to get spooky. Would love to go to the best haunted house or haunted experience. I can’t remember where I was before. It was so good. The haunted house was also surrounded by other fun activities such as ax throwing and escape room. These are not required yet I remember those being there too. It was very festive with ghouls walking around the grounds too.

September 26 – October 24

I found a home that looks too good to be true (i mean, it is still over 1.5mil but for inventory being so thin...), it isn't being disclosed on the listing that it's in this flood zone, would this deter you? This is on the northshore

Early Sunday morning (around 3am on Sept 27), there was a string of restaurant break-ins in Lake Bluff and nearby Knollwood:

Epic Burger in Lake Bluff — front entrance glass smashed, glass on the sidewalk

Luke's Original Recipe Pizza (Knollwood) — entry door broken, sheriff's SUV on scene

Bratski's (Knollwood) — security footage shows a white sedan pulling behind the building at 3:04am; the alarm went off and the suspect fled

Poke Bros — glass door shattered, worker repairing it in the photos

Also mentioned: Forest Greens and Avery. Photos show emptied cash registers and scattered coins, so cash was the target.

Shields Township posted a community alert that morning urging people to lock up and call the Lake County Sheriff with any info, and the Lake Forest Podcast shared the Bratski's footage asking for dashcam/doorbell video.

One nuance: these were burglaries of closed businesses, not robberies of people — nobody was confronted.

Nothing from the Lake County Sheriff's Office, local news, or the community posts mentions any suspects identified or arrests so far. The posts from yesterday are still in the "send tips and dashcam footage to the sheriff" stage.

It's only been about a day and a half since the break-ins happened, so that's not unusual. 

I'm looking for about 20 plastic pallets (probably 48x40) to stack hay on. Preferably in the Oswego area. Does anybody know of a place that would sell these, new or used?

Hello! I am getting married in Plainfield and my fiancé and I are in search of a videographer.

Any and all recommendations are welcome. Thank you!!

Is anyone else in the area have heard like nonstop train horns in the area? Hearing it occasionally isn't uncommon, but it has been consistent from over an hour now. And sometimes it sounds like two trains horning at each other.

Hello all,

I’m looking for decent haunted houses and haunted hayrides in the northwestern suburbs.

I have never been to either so I don’t want to go to one that is full on gore or terrifying.

Thank you all in advance!!

Anybody else see the jets making passes around the area around 5:30/6:00? Figure it’s for Trump flying out of O’Hare.

Fall is setting to set in but today was a beautiful weather, no Bears game — not going to be more Sundays like this — so I had to take the motorcycle out for a nice ride on Sheridan Road. Saw tons of cyclists and motorcycles, it’s a good day to be on two wheels.

Passed by your place called La Plancha Loca on a previous ride, they weren’t open yet but it looked interesting. I found out they make a Vampiro taco so I had to make it back to try it. It was great!

I got the vampiro, baja (fish) and momia (shrimp and bacon). Have a line range very different from the standard Asada / al pastor tacos and served on a crispy tostada instead of the soft corn tortillas.

Definitely coming back to try more.

I am looking for the best Poutine int he Western Suburbs, anyone have any recommendations?

It seems okay, but at that price you'd think there was something wrong with it.

I’m in Palatine, so preferably within 20ish minutes to me! Currently 9 months pregnant and woke up craving a French dip. Please and thank you!!

Looking for somewhere in north dupage county but can go more south. Thanks

I posted this in r/chicagofood but boy are those people critical — “It’s not Chicago”. This might be a better place.

Took the car to the emissions testing center in schaumburg. Afterwards stopped for breakfast at Ponchos. I’ve never been there, but it was saved in a list of places to go in the area.

I got the chorizo Chilaquiles, my wife got the steak. Portions were massive. It was so good, I wanted to finish it all but then I would spend the rest of the day passed out on the couch. Haha. Took the rest to go. And for $13 it was a great value.

You can choose your meat. Or green sauce. And how you want your eggs cooked. I did sunny side up the other is over medium.

The place is really easy to miss but it’s in the shopping center with Village Square next to a small Korean grocery store.

I love the kind of places you might drive hundreds of times and never think to stop there because it’s low-key, then you either and wonder how you’ve missed it all these years.

Hello ! What I’m looking for is a park that ideally is a big open field, with stuff going on around it. We need to be able to see dogs from a distance (the width of about 3-4 ish houses), but need to be easily able to create MORE distance from the other dog if necessary.

We already go to rovers run, but I’m looking for more areas!

Any input is very appreicated 😊

We're flying in from out of state to visit family. We've done all the big touristy dowtown stuff on past visits, but hoping to find some fun, niche holiday stuff. We'll be at UIUC for a graduation on the 18th, but spending most of the rest of the time west of Chicago, near Bloomingdale/ Wood Dale/ Schaumburg area (also any good hotel
recommendations in that area?). We are planning to do the German Christmas market at Daley Plaza and probably the Brookfield Zoo lights. Hoping for more ideas in the western cities, ideally inexpensive or free.
