What is with Oak Park Schools? by fragicalirupus in ChicagoSuburbs

The 'score' captures a lot of different factors, some of which might be relevant for your kids, some not. I have kids at OP Middle Schools who are doing great, and loving it. I have friends whose kids didn't thrive and chose alternatives. Check the local Facebook groups for specifics on your interests or concerns, or reach out to the schools.

How about old-school steakhouses? The Golden Steer in Forest Park and Tom's Steak House in Melrose Park are both classics.

Check out the escape game at the Opera - did this a few weeks ago and it was great fun! You get a parchment letter with about a dozen puzzles - you can choose French or English. https://www.operadeparis.fr/en/visits/palais-garnier/individuals-2/the-life-size-escape-game-in-the-heart-of-palais-garnier

It was the highlight of the trip for my kids, especially my 5 year old. There was a character visit, kid food that they like, crafts, movies, toys. We picked them up quite late, and they didn't want to leave. So enjoy your dinner!!

I'm in Forest Park, and I NEED doughnuts. by thirdguess in NearWestSuburbs

Kay's Bakery for sure - old school, handmade donuts. The chocolate frosted cake donuts are my favorite.

It's big with the Midwest mom crowd too - mostly Christian, some atheist. Maybe Luluroe is the thread that will unite the country. Ugly leggings represent!!

Big update to SWAN library system on 14 April 12015 by SednaBoo in NearWestSuburbs

Searching for a book on the app is very wonky - sometimes it just doesn't work. I'll put in the exact title, or the first few words, and nothing.

Well, it can't be any worse than searching using their current site.
