A Hidden Gem “Supper Club” in Schiller Park

****When one thinks “Supper Club”, one automatically thinks Wisconsin. Yes, they are known for these friendly, entertaining spots in the woods or near the water, and they always serve cheese curds as well as great “Old Fashioneds”, but guess what? Illinois has some of these dining spots as well. In fact, there is one just a few miles from O’Hare with a name that will make sense once you hear it. It is the ” Great Escape Restaurant”, located at 9540 West Irving Park Rd. ( this is not to be confused with the retail stores called The Great Escape, where they sell pools and spas).

Millennials And Gen Xers Are Leaving Chicago And Moving To Another Big Midwestern City

There is no doubt that Chicago is the cultural and economic capital of the Midwest. With more than 2.7 million residents, it's also the largest. "The Windy City" offers residents plenty to do between the roughly 7,300 restaurants, 600 parks, 250 live music venues, and nearly 40 annual parades. But all of these attractions are not stopping people from drifting toward another, more affordable city in the Midwest. A recent U-Haul study found that Gen Xers (those born between 1965 and 1980) and millennials (those born between 1981 and 1996) are relocating to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, which is just a 90-minute drive from Chicago.

3 Illinois Places Where Going Alone Could Be Riskier Than You Expect

Illinois does not need a remote mountain range to present serious outdoor hazards. Sandstone bluffs, canyon trails, and Lake Michigan can all punish a decision that seemed minor a few minutes earlier. Going alone matters because there may be nobody beside you when a slip, sudden wave, or wrong turn occurs.

People Bring Their Own Jars To Stock Up At This Illinois Bulk Food Store

Half of this little store is candy. The other half holds spices, flours, nuts, teas, and coffee, and you can scoop all of it into jars you carried from home. That detail alone made me want to know more. Shoppers bring clean containers, the staff weighs them, and you pay only for what goes inside.

Illinois high school football powerhouse proves doubters wrong in upset win

FRANKFORT, IL. − Mount Carmel football (Chicago, IL) has heard the doubts all season. The Caravan entered the Illinois High School Association (IHSA) postseason as the No. 8 seed in the 8A playoffs, despite being the four-time defending state champions and underdogs in a rare occurrence. That meant Mount Carmel had to go on the road against No. 1 Lincoln-Way East in the quarterfinals on Saturday, Nov. 14 — its biggest test to continue the quest for a fifth straight state title. In the first half, the Caravan did themselves no favors, as the team trailed 10-7 at halftime due to penalties and self-inflicted wounds. However, Mount Carmel was able to overcome trailing the majority of the game for a 21-16 "upset" win over the Griffins to advance to the semifinals. "It's super big," Mount Carmel senior middle linebacker and Notre Dame commit Roman Igwebuike said of the victory. "We beat them last year, but we still had a chip on our shoulder. I feel like we've been doubted too much this year and I feel like everybody knows what we're capable of. They just keep doubting our program." Fast start, slow middle, big finish While the Caravan struck first
