    House
    Steve A.

    Getting closer to the holidays, so it's now a good time to check out this house that was in a movie. Home Alone used the exterior of this one. It's on a residential street in Winnetka. About all to do here is just look at it and take pictures to be honest. There's not that much else but it's a pretty good side trip. All it is is a house. It's actually occupied. There's nothing around here saying it's here, so finding it's mostly left up to you. It's on Lincoln Avenue. This is a residential street, so it's not meant to be a tourist attraction really. One interesting thing is a lot of the houses on this street are more modest. This one is impressive, but most of the other houses are fairly pedestrian. Of course all the houses are expensive. This is a nice suburb. Check it out but you have to walk a bit. It's best to cross the Pine Street bridge to get to Lincoln Avenue, then turn left. The house is on the east side up just a ways.

    Super fun day trip from Milwaukee! Lots of people visiting, but plenty of room for everyone to take photos. Would be cool to visit at night when the Christmas lights are shining. Street was blocked off, but there is plenty of parking nearby. Local police were monitoring the traffic. The little downtown is very cute and neighborhood is lovely!

    It's the number one spot to visit when you are in Winnetka, according to my cousin, then the beach. We stopped by here after our afternoon tea in winnetka at the deer path inn. This was my husband's one spot to visit while we were here. It's a nice walking neighborhood. No two houses look alike here either.

    Since Christmas was coming up, we were watching Home Alone and realized that the settings was in Chicago, we did a little research and yes, it's true! We planned to stop by here to check it out in person. Upon arrival, we notice that this is a neighborhood, on Zillow it's worth over 1 million dollars. They have signs that says do not park in front of the house and also they have cameras too. Try to be respectful. We took several snapshots during the day and night, it looks like it but more updated than the movies. Wish we could come when it was Christmas time though. That would have been good to see. It's a very quiet neighbor. You can also see the Church from the movie too right down the street.

    Whoever lives there now keeps the Christmas decor very authentic to how it looked in the movie which was nice. We went during the day. We went a few days after Christmas and took a handful of photos out front. Not too crazy with visitors thankfully. Parking is not allowed on that side of the street but no problem across. Remember this is a neighborhood, not a movie set. Be respectful!

    Kind of overrated for it. It's cool but sometimes it is difficult to take photo. It's cool to visit once in a while

    Kapsa Monument

    Kapsa Monument

    (12 reviews)

    Kapsa Monument Co did a beautiful monument for me and my late husband a few years ago and placed it…read morein a Hillside cemetery. The monument has a vase on each side. Recently one of the vases has become loose. I've tried to reach out to Kapsa a few times. No one ever answers the phone. I've left 3 messages in over a week and half stating my issue and asked for the favor of a reply. I've yet to hear back from Kapsa. This monument wasn't cheap. I've reached out to two other monument companies in the area in the meantime and they are willing to help but say Kapsa should stand behind their business and take care of this. If they can or can't, either way the courtesy of a reply is expected for such an expensive monument. I can't rate them good in the service area as they are non responsive.

    Buyer beware. This place is absolutely awful. They will screw you on the contract and they are very…read moredisrespectful. They will intentionally and purposely omit IMPORTANT and KEY things from the contract, and this can screw you in the end. When I caught these items, owner refused to correct them. Here they are: 1.) They verbally said that ALL inscriptions and design are included in the price, but when you get the contract it does not say this, and when you ask the owner to add, he refuses. Don't ever sign the contract unless they clearly write in text that ALL inscriptions and design are included in the headstone price, just like they verbally say. 2.) Draft of the drawing, design, and inscriptions was not attached. How else will you know what the heck you are getting?!?!? Don't accept without this! 3.) Full names of the deceased were omitted. This contract is also combined into the application for the cemetery. Are we just trying to get the cemetery office to guess? 4.) Memorialist didn't sign the cemetery contract on the back, which is required before you can even place any headstone in the cemetery. The cemetery has its own rules which we all have to agree to. We don't own the cemetery. These are all normal procedures for all cemeteries. 5.) Approximate date of delivery was missing. You can't just put a season like spring or summer. The owner was very disrespectful. When trying to resolve this in a calm manner, he talked over me. I tried talking to the owner nicely on the phone, but all he did was hang up on me. Avoid this business, and go to others in the area that will: actually put in writing what they say verbally, are willing to actually fill out a contract completely, and treat you with respect. After all, if you are paying them thousands of dollars for a headstone, I would think that you would at least have the above taken care of. This place is absolutely awful. STAY AWAY.
