You know, I'm terribly fascinated those big "things to do in the City of Chicago" websites hardly have anything near our 'hood (our 'hood being Bridgeport, McKinley Park, Brighton Park, Garfield Ridge, etc.... It's pretty much South Loop, Loop, Bronzeville, Near Northside, Gold Coast, River North and of course Lincoln Park/Lakeview/Andersonville/Ravenswood/Roscoe Village ad nauseum. As if up north is the only place to get a good meal but if you venture down south you're not to be disappointed at the fact you'll find a great place with decent prices to grab a few beers that won't cost you your gas/CTA moolah for the week. Something nearby us as well is what we look for and know of and out south in the 'burbs as we venture out south more often then up north.
Just less congested...and less expensive.
So a very good friend of mine has set up a bit of a website that focuses on the south 'burbs of ChiTown; IE, I355 to the west.. Kedzie to the east.. I55 to the north and route 30 to the west (directions indicated above are from ChiTown, btw), Burbank, Bridgeview, Palos Hills, Palos Heights, Oak Lawn, Lemont, Lockport, Homer Glenn, Orland Hills, Orland Park, Tinley Park, Midlothian, Oak Forest, Mokena, Burr Ridge, Willow Springs, Summit to name a few. He's got the skinny on the haps for after hours and then some; listings of great eats w/great deals as well, so when you get a chance and want to find something to do, IE, a place to eat, listen to a good band and find some discounts as well, check THIS LINK HERE for more details.
As trite as it may sound, there IS lots to do on the south side and the southern 'burbs. If you can't figure it out or can't find something, check out Dave's site above and just ask....
Just raves, reviews, requests, rants & other related witty-isms from my so-called life along w/occasional freebies & coupons. You may NOT use MY words & other vitriolic criticisms(which are my own opinion of certain things, humans, etc... & I am NOT compensated whatsoever; I just have a big mouth & lots to say) without written consent fr: me, please. Yes; it's my stuff & you can't use it willy-nilly all over w/out permission. Thanks! The management.
