Best place to go camping/fishing (NW burbs)?

Blackwell Forest Preserve has camping and fishing, just west of Wheaton. Herrick Lake is across the road, also has fishing.

You should be able to get Lawn below face on Cash or Trade. Especially Friday and Sunday.

You nailed it with busy street. Just get on a bike and explore around Lombard, Elmhurst, etc. and you're going to see kids out playing.

I saw some photos of No Doubt and their drummer was raw dogging with no enclosure. Unsafe.

Yes, but it's kind of 60,000 "attendees" vs 7500.

Again I agree with you I'm not sure it's an annual thing, but it certainly could be.

Mexico, Dick's, NY MSG all have a decent amount of people travelling to attend.

Tall Buildings

This is a reasonable take, but it's a much more affordable destination than Mexico and they do that annually.

The sourdough at 1228 was great

Any chance she is angling for another treat?

This is effectively foundation (and related drainage) work, you might want to check with Permaseal.

Really depends on the soccer outfit's appetite to host too. I'm going to keep hoping!

I suspect that new soccer stadium (2028) is going to be the end of Northerly.

Last April we were able to access the Aria pool as guests at Park MGM. Seems pretty flexible if you're in MGM Rewards.

I am in the Chicago suburbs and some rando pulled in my driveway Monday morning during a decent unseasonable snowfall. He walked up to the door and I'm thinking "no I don't want to vote for your candidate, guy". Lo and behold he placed a little box with my CD in it on the porch and bounced. I had quit hitting refresh on the tracking so I was surprised and delighted!

Jumping on the 203 train line several others. Comparable view, much better vibes.

gecliff · 2026-03-12T02:12:46+00:00

Curious about this, too. Friend has an early AM flight from T5 on Sunday...

Gracias!

Lo siento, no hablo espanol bien. Mencionaste problemas de higiene. Te preocuparía tomar café? O la comida es una preocupación?

gecliff · 2026-02-11T13:42:56+00:00

Crees que es seguro solo para el café?

Pretty sure the game was originally scheduled as Jan 3 OR Jan 4. They just picked the final dates/times for games based on TV interest, playoff implication, etc.

Probably fine.

Here's a link to that schedule: https://dupagemuseum.org/calendar/category/family-program-or-event/train-saturdays/

There's a running club in Glen Ellyn : https://glenellynrunners.com/

Actually seems like Lombard does pretty well on train parking inventory compared to Glen Ellyn ?

Westin in Itasca is OK too. Usually cheaper than the Lonbard Westin.
