222 Waukegan Rd, Glenview“I can’t say enough nice things about the Woman’s Club of Evanston. Location, location, location! The building is beautiful and elegant and allows you to save on decorating costs. The furniture and art at the venue are like walking through a museum. The manager, Gretchen, is a pleasure to work with and great at communicating. My favorite part of the venue is the two floors, which allow for a seamless room flip. I would recommend the Woman’s Club to anyone getting married, or for any special event.”

1000 Grove St, Evanston“I love the variety here. The 6 lane pool is the appropriate temperature for a workout, but if you prefer warmer the 4 lane is there. Clean locker rooms, steam and dry sauna, plus extensive weight room and cardio equipment for whatever you need. The staff is great, and it's super queer and gender inclusive. Just wish there was a punching bag!”

I have been there since August of last year for wrestling events with a friend of mine and we enjoy it every single time we go. There is never a dull moment and the people there are always incredibly nice and kind.”

620 Lincoln Ave, Winnetka“It was AMAZING to see the Home Alone house. When we were there, over 50 people arrived. The big thing to remember is that that is someone's house, so be respectful. It was really cold to see the house even many many years later.”
“This HAS to become better organized.One person is let in, 8-10 minutes later the next person is let in. 2 hours and 45 minutes to move up a line the length of 4 storefronts.I used to volunteer at the Foster location, where people were guided through the sections, picked things out, and everyone was able to proceed in a steady flow.God bless the volunteers, I am happy to have food when I don't know how I'm going to make rent, but has this problem been noticed as a real concern, and addressed at all?”
“I love the carcade. Great merch and so many comfy spots for lounging cats. The murals in their new space are so good. We did have a not so friendly interaction with one employee during our visit that was a misunderstanding. But that was a one off and could chalk it up to just that. My experiences here have always been really positive and cat-centered.”
“Can't say enough good things about NLOL Chicago! I adopted Teddy from them 8 years ago, and to this day they still keep in touch with me and help me with any questions I might have! They are 100% volunteer run so they don't have an actual shelter facility, just their homes and their hearts. They genuinely enjoy hearing his updates and even seeing him at events over the years!If you have other pets in the home, of course they should be spayed/neutered to adopt another. That's a known fact of most reputable rescue organizations. :)”
“Did an online auction with Ian. He was very responsive & patient with me. Especially since this was the first auction I did with him. I'm very happy as a bidder. It was also pretty cool to see an old MJ bball card go for 25k on the webcast!”

My teachers are great at challenging me while keeping their expectations fair and realistic for my current level as a student. The teachers have their own specialties and teaching style, which helps create new learning opportunities for us as students. My current teacher is a wealth of information and has given me guidance and exercises that have helped me improve tremendously and become more confident as a musician in training. Thank you ACM!”

2838 W Peterson Ave, Chicago“I highly recommend Trellus to any English learners: the teachers are supportive, the courses are informative, and the environment is friendly. I have stayed there for one year, learning ESL Level 2 with Kate, Level 3 with Victoria, Level 4 with Allie, and Level 5 with Mariya. Moreover, getting one-on-one tutoring is accessible at Trellus, I have got help from Gavin and Kat Woo. What’s special, I also took IT classes with Joseph, it is suitable for beginners in programming and data analysis. Now I can handle more and more real-life English, which helps me integrate into the English-speaking community. I sincerely appreciate everything I came across at Trellus, it was a memorable journey.”

“Most Chicagoans I asked didn't know what Family Matters was. It's a family sitcom that originally aired September 22, 1989, and sadly ended on May 9, 1997. Took place in Chicago and initially started off as a spin off from another sitcom, Perfect Strangers. Steve Urkel (Jaleel White) was supposed to be a one time appearance and quickly became the star of the show due to popular demand. The live audience would chant "Urkel" and so became Steve Urkel as a regular part of the cast. FM is a wholesome and family friendly show. Really hit home for me. All those that grew up watching this show, had childhood hardships, etc., this show provided entertainment, inspiration and above all, taught us that family really did/does matter.”
“Super helpful amd friendly staff. Due to COVID they do restrict number of people entering building. Dr was great at explaining my father's condition and hopefully got through to him. Great information on their services. So glad we were able to get an appointment earlier rather than having to wait for the new year.”
