This thing ain't half bad! At first I threw them all away - they arrived monthly, unsolicited…read more Then I was skeptical but started reading it anyhow. The articles are pretty interesting, and everything's written by Naperville citizens, businesspeople and law enforcement. There are some cutesy recurring themes, like photos of kids at a certain seasons, a slight irritant to my blase Chicagoness, but it fits in and I can see why they include it. I admit it, I ALWAYS turn to the back of the magazine to check whether my address is listed; whether I won a Rocky Mountain Chocolates gift certificate. There are often good teen advice columns, profiles of businesses, new or established. I can honestly say I learn something new every time I read it. It's especially good for planning kids' activities, around holidays or any time.

Used to be my favorite newspaper and then suddenly it became super left-wing. I was looking for…read moreunbiased reporting and instead front page articles would be written with clear bias on the part of the journalist. I have since canceled my online and paper delivery for me as well as other family members. Too bad because it has been a family staple for decades . Disappointing.

HOTEL CALIFORNIA…read more.. ...you can never leave. My husband fell for the free month trial scam last November. I told him that this was a mistake, that it had been ridiculously difficult to cancel when we had subscribed years ago. He called to cancel in early December. They billed his credit card. He called again to cancel, was assured it was taken care of. He was billed in January. He called again, was again told it was taken care of. Finally he contacted his credit card and got a new number. DH continued to deliver and then contacted him about his 'past due bill', demanding a new credit card. My next step is to look into fraud charges.

When the store manager quit, it all just went down hill. I bought, over a period of about 15…read moreyears, three pricey embroidery sewing machines. Was always happy with them, competent sales people and good techs. Then I found out they lost the dealership for my machine brand. I started asking around and nobody was happy with them.

This is THE cutest bookstore and gift shop in an unexpected little strip mall in Lisle…read more If you love a dreamy bookstore where you can wander and peruse through adorable and well organized aisles, this place is for you. If you were looking for a cute book themed or hear me out... capybara themed gift, this place is for you! If you want to grab a book off a shelf and sit on a cozy couch while sipping some complimentary tea, this place is for you!!! It's adorable. New books, like-new used books, antique books and more capybara stuff that I've ever seen. I love it and can't wait to stop in again!

After almost a 20 minute wait in line I found out we were locked in the store and I asked why are…read morewe locked in here? They said "we close at 6 o'clock, 7 days a week". I didn't even think to check the hours on the door because I've never seen a retail establishment close at 6 o'clock on a weekday, especially when Halloween is about a week and a half away. There looked to be a short, dark haired woman who appeared to be the manager (with a line of about seven deep) and supposedly the store closed, who just kept walking back-and-forth, not offering to help with anybody in the line or anything like that every time I've come in here it takes forever and a day to check out. It literally takes longer to get your stuff paid for than it does to walk around the whole store and make your purchases!

Do you like motorsport?…read more If you answered yes, then you must stop in Motorsport Collector. The amount of rare and unique die-cast along with books and artwork is something to be seen. Mostly F1, SportsCar, and IndyCar, but also rare items for DragRacing and NASCAR. It's truly the best place to find that missing piece for your collection, or to find a gift for the person who loves all things motorsport. A bit tricky to find, and a bit jammed with inventory, but that type of place has always been gold to me.
