We’re only in the second weekend of October and already there’s a marathon-packed weekend planned for all Chicagoans!
La Creperie located at 2845 N. Clark Street in Lakeview is definitely a local gem if you want to taste a world class crepe. The restaurant was opened in 1972 by Germain Roignant and his wife. The front room maintains its farmhouse roots with beautiful wooden accents. The feeling of a true French bistro in the countryside is the feeling you have.
This year marks the 10th Anniversary Tour of Midnight Circus’ partnership with the Welles Park Advisory Council to bring cutting edge, live circus performers to parks around the city to raise funds for local park improvements.
We need to do a double check around the exterior of our homes before winter sets in. Now the weather is still fairly nice so it’s a lot easier to work outside. Many of these simple tasks will prevent costly repairs down the road and save you money on energy too.
It’s that time of year again where Chicagoans celebrate “All Things Fall” as we head into the month of October!
Alderman Brian Hopkins is looking out for you and your family as flu season approaches by sponsoring the 2nd Ward Family Health and Resource Fair in the Loggia Room of Latin School of Chicago at 59 W. North Blvd. this Saturday, 10/1, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Nothing says caring like FREE flu shots and health screenings. City and state agencies will also be on hand to provide health and resource information.
Fall is really the ideal planting time for trees and large bushes. Most nurseries and garden centers will discount these in the fall in order to not have to store them over winter. Planting now will give the trees 6-8 weeks to assimilate before the hard freeze sets in. When spring comes the trees already have a head start and will take off!
It was a beautiful weekend here in Chicago this past weekend – sunny, cool and somewhat lazy. I had been out having tea at a local coffee shop and really needed to have something to eat before I got extremely hangry! Since I was in Lakeview, I met up with a friend over at Bar Pastoral, located at 2947 N. Broadway.
Well, as the old saying goes, “if you can’t beat them, join them!” That’s right, autumn is officially here and there’s nothing we can do about it so in true Chicago fashion we’ll just celebrate it and welcome in fall! Chicagoans are always ready to celebrate something!!
