I looked all over in the Oak Park/River Forest area for a local optical shop and stumbled across this one. The service is excellent - both the shop owner and the receptionists. And they can order almost any brand and style you want. I walked away with an OPI Titanium frame with Hoya ultra light lenses for a GREAT price!! Best of all, Weiner is very accommodating if their lab messes something up; they will send it right back with no charge ASAP.

The refrigerator repairman glanced into the freezer and said it would cost $450 to repair. He asked me if I wanted to check with my HUSBAND. Then he decided that he would refuse to repair it after all since it also needed to have the coils cleaned at the back of the fridge and he was too fat to fit back there, and I would likely report him to the attorney general for an incomplete repair.
Another repairman came over, got the fridge running fine, and said that we could wait and see whether this relatively expensive part needed replacing.
The only fair aspect of this terrible service is that they did not attempt to charge me for the worthless visit.

The name of this store tells you a lot about the merchandise- undoubtedly unique! The store is located next to the Post Office, in the garden level of an old Victorian. The garden level has been re-done into a store- with hand poured flooring and carved pillars that are works of art in themselves. Although the location might seem a bit odd, it so so worth a visit. The items in the store hail from a variety of artists- everything from paintings to sculptures to handmade cards, scarves, clothing and jewelry. The prices are reasonable considering what is being offered. I can always find a "unique" and interesting gift for a loved one.
They might seem a bit off the beaten path- not quite on "The Avenue" (oak park avenue and lake area) and not quite downtown- sort of in-between the two areas. They are right near the Frank Loyd Wright Unitarian church- so if you are in town seeing the sites make sure you cross the street from the temple and take in the wonders at this store! You may want to call ahead for hours.

I did not have a receipt & they were able to pull the information off my credit card & return my Items with no hassel at all. You cant do anything like that at most stores anymore.

The Starvin' Artist is a small art supplies store that has always had everything I ever needed in the way of craft and project materials. I am a firm believer in patronizing small stores (rather than chain stores) whenever possible, and the Starvin' Artist certainly fits right in. They have a great selection of supplies on hand, and their prices are very competitive. You won't be disappointed with this store!

Spaulding's is a small clothing store that has been in the Oak Park Mall for years. They mostly have men's business and casual clothes. I like the personal attention that you get when you shop there. They take their time with measurements so that you get a suit that fits you perfectly. The prices are somewhat higher than in the larger department stores, but there's really not too much of a difference.
