This is a very reliable place to get your dry cleaning done. I have been using this place and its great services for many years now and have never had any complaints. They will do the job right and they will also have it done on time. Unlike many other places I have tried, they will always follow isntructions carefully and will really make an effort to get the job doe right. Also, they send out some great, money-saving coupons in the mail, so watch out for those too!

Having taken two rounds of guitar lessons and three rounds of wiggleworms with my baby, I can honestly say I can't think of any place I'd rather spend my hard-earned money! Each teacher I have had has been fantastic, and a true lover of both music and teaching.
Wiggleworms is fun for babies and parents alike. The teachers all seem to follow the same basic structure for the flow of the class, but change up the songs and games a little bit each week. If your reason for taking the class is to make mommy (or daddy) friends, you'll have to do it on your own time before or after class. Socialization of parents is discouraged during class, as the focus is on the children.
Guitar classes are fun and laid back. Depending on the room you're assigned to and how many people decide to show up or join your class as a make-up, it can feel a bit overcrowded at times. For the most part, though, class size was just right--big enough to hide if you haven't practiced enough, but small enough that you can get some individual attention from the teacher. Classes are nice and long too--about 90 minutes, followed by a short break and the Second Half sing/play along. After two rounds of classes, I can play and sing a nice selection of recognizable songs. Don't let the name of the school or the required song book fool you, you'll learn plenty of popular rock music!
Based on my positive experiences, I highly recommend OTSFM!

The work that these folks do is amazing and a huge blessing to so many people and of course animals. Many of the people who work here are devoted to the cause of helping these dogs and cats find a good home. They provide all the shots, tags and papers you will need for a low fee. Some of the people working here are volunteers-thanks folks. Job well done!

I don't typically like to write good reviews for places that I prefer to keep incognito, like our daycare or our pediatrician, or my hair dresser as I prefer that these places not get busy, but I am making an exception. There were several reasons, why I originally chose this daycare:
1. 1:3 in the infant room and low ratios for the older children (this low ratio is unheard of for the majority of the other daycares I toured),
2. webcam (also unheard of for the other daycares I toured), and
3. location (near work so nice).
4. Allow you to come and go as you please. I often went during lunch to feed our baby and I could not believe that other daycares would only allow you to come during pickup and dropoff times.
Our child has been with the daycare for several years now and things have gone along pretty smoothly. I keep the webcam up and running in the corner of my computer at all times so I know exactly what is going on most of the day. When issues do arise (and trust me they do anywhere, but I know about them due to the webcam), I have no problem discussing it with the director and I have found her to be nothing but accommodating which really puts my concerns at ease. Granted, most of the issues that have come up are minor (i.e. pacifier being used outside of naptime) but they are important to me and director has always addressed it and made sure it was corrected within a day.
The teachers are loving and nurturing, which is nice. They often try to get us involved in their daily activities and take the time to tell me how my child did during the day so I don't feel like I missed out on anything.
Overall, I have been very pleased with the daycare and my child's development. My child loves all the caregivers and all the other kids and often talks about them outside of school. I am dreading the day that I have to take my child out of this great environment and into a public or private school as I feel I am so involved now in the day to day activities (with the webcam and daily updates), and once my child is in big kid school, I feel I will not be so involved.
Pros: Location, nurturing caregivers, low child/caregiver ratio
Cons: None

If you want the hottest vets, go here. I'm serious. I had two that were good lookin', and i ain't lying. I also got a "good samaritan" discount for getting a checkup for a stray kitten. Unfortunately, the kitten had to be put down for a number of reasons, and I got a really awkward call from a nurse asking how the kitten was. Sigh.
Still, it's a little pricey but it's worth it- everyone is so totally nice there (and hot, ahem, hot) and I'm glad to be a patron.

Great to work with. At events we all know photographers have a limited window of time to capture the best possible moments and details encompassing the entire event. Tricia does this hands down with a beautiful eye. She shot our Climate Cycle May 9th Bike-a-thon and captured everything we asked for and more!
Pros: Quality photos and attention to detail

I travel to Blum Animal Hospital from the Northern Suburbs because there is not another place like it. The service is excellent! I wish my kids' pediatrician had the same customer service attitude and bedside manner. They have great hours and always will see me the same day when my pet is sick. They also are always willing to discuss treatment options and fees whenever necessary.

In June our beloved 11 year old lab mix, Reilly was diagnosed with Lymphoma. Dr Cynthia Olson, a vet at PPAH told us he had 2-4 weeks to live. Dr Olson seemed genuinely saddened by the news and would call us every 3-4 days to see how Reilly was feeling and to see if we had any questions. At the end, when we were going on vacation in Michigan w/ Reilly one last time, Dr Olson even offered to drive up and put him to sleep if his health started to deteriorate (it didn't). In the end, Reilly lost his battle w/ cancer (almost 4 weeks from the 1st diagnosis) and Dr. Olson and the staff were very supportive and caring in his final moments. They even sent sympathy cards later on and sent a beautiful paw print ornament for us to remember Reilly by. I would STRONGLY recommend Portage Park Animal Hospital (Dr Olson in particular) to any pet lover!

I have been going to Glazed Expressions for years - I have watched the place morph from one store into a chain, and so I now have my pickings for creative paint your own pottery fun. The atmosphere is relaxed, the staff is usually helpful. Feel free to BYOB, creative inspirations, and friends. You can hold Bachelorette parties there, just plain Girl get togethers, or a date if both parties are willing and creative. Something different to do week nights - On saturday/sundays it is is usually pretty busy with kid parties - so call ahead. You can reserve a table for any time - and if you do not finish your piece in one shot, just take it home and bring it back when you can. Prices are reasonable, and gift certificates are available. If you have kids, they do have party packages available - and they have that party system down to a science. From first time artists to talented veterans, this is a great time.
