Gandhi Appliances has been operating on Devon Avenue, which is the Indian Market in Chicago, for many years. I remember going there as a kid to buy gifts for relatives in India. The reason we went there and not Best Buy was that they carry 220 voltage items which is what works overseas.
The 220 volt appliances usually cost more and there are less deals available on these items. And those are the forte of stores like Gandhi Appliances.
It is well stocked and feels more like a warehouse. The sales people are rushed and in a hurry to get you in and out. You can find a lot of stuff you would at a typical electronics store, but like I said, it's geared towards the overseas market.

The Smoke Hub is a well stocked depot of fine tobacco products. It is aptly named since it has something for anyone who uses tobacco products, such as cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobacco, etc.
They carry a wide variety of cigars, from cheap ones to the high end choices. They also have accessories such as humidors, cigar cutters (watch those fingers!), lighters, cigarette paper for you do-it-yourselfers, etc.
I don't consider myself a cigar afficianado, but I enjoy the occassional cigar. A buddy of mine recently had a baby boy so we went to the Smoke Hub and picked up some fine cigars to hand out. The sales people were kind and guided us through the sale.

I have been to Three Brothers Liquor Store a few times to quench some thirsts in the past. They carry all the major hard liquors and have a decent variety of rare ones. I think their forte though is beer. The coolers always stocked with Budweiser, Coor, and Miller products. The prices aren't exactly bargains, but if you got a party going on, it doesn't matter, does it?
Cicero's a big street. This is located close to the intersection of Cicero and Augusta Blvd. I wouldn't go there after dark by myself, but it's a relatively safe place. But use common sense whenever you're in doubt.

I purchased an RX 300 from Woodfield Lexus in 2001. The sales team was helpful, and not just because they knew I was going to make a purchase. My salesman's name was Fred who went over each aspect of the car's features with us. He spent a great deal of time explaining the intricacies and the navigation system, which was a relatively new concept at the team.
They have since moved to a new, larger location in the heart of the car dealerships. The showroom is upscale with all the latest models displayed in all their glory.
This dealership is part of the Resnick Group which owns several other dealerships in the area including Toyota, Scion, Mercedes, etc. They have won awards, including the Elite of Lexus given toe best Lexus dealership.

Indian Lakes Resort has changed owners over the past few years, but it has always remained one of the finest resorts in the area. They offer world class amenities that can rival many of the luxury hotels of Vegas.
I particularly have enjoyed their spa that offers several types of massage and pampering services. I have had the hot rock and swedish massage there. It was just as good as any massage I have had in Las Vegas and the rates are competitive.
The Salon offers hair cuts and styling. I have had it once because it can be quite expensive. I think ladies might find this part more appealing, but for me, I think I will stick to my barber.
I would recommend the Spa at Indian Lakes for anyone who is over worked and stressed out. It's a good place to get some R&R.

Super Bright Cleaners has been in business for over two decades at its current location. They offer many services besides dry cleaning, including but not limited to alterations, custom sewing, clothes repair, etc.
It has been a family owned business that thrives on loyal customers. They treat you well. I have never had any problem with their service and have never had any damage or lost clothes. Their work is as their name states, super bright. They get out tough stains and have the latest detergents that get the job done without harming the fabric.
Their rates are usually less than what other cleaners charge.

Hanover Glass and Mirror has been a stalwart in the Hanover Park business circuit. They were run by a guy named Larry until recently. He had the knowledge and know how to tackle all your projects, including store fronts, vanity mirrors, glass tables, and framing.
I used to get family portraits framed by him. He was very reasonable and would always give me his best work. After he sold the shop, I could tell that it was in good hands because the new owner carried that tradition forward.
They do all types of glasswork and offer very competitive rates.

I have worked with Mr. Kulbushan Sharma of Century 21 on a home purchase for myself as well as for my relatives. He was extremely patient and knowledgeable. He knew my budget and worked hard to find homes that would fit my needs (good schools, safe area, spacious) without breaking the bank.
He was persistent in locating the right home for my family and did his best in the negotiation process. He has had success in selling homes as well and has gotten top dollar for such transactions.
I would recommend anyone who is in the market for a new home in the northwest suburbs to give Mr. Sharma a call.

Racing Rapids is adjacent to Santa's Village, although it's a separate park. It is dedicated to water sports. They have large water slides that have rapid descent and slow descent. I remember being scared of the rapid water slide when I was younger.
It's a great place to visit in the summer time when the heat is blazing outside. There are concession stands inside that offer standard fare such as burgers, pizza, fries, sodas, etc.
Bring your best swimming trunks and get ready for a splash. I think you will enjoy yourself and get to be a kid again.
