Ebert Studios has filled all my professional photographic needs for many years now. They do everything from passport photos to formal family portraits. They are a bit more expensive than the studios you would find in department stores, but you get excellent quality and personalized service, so I think it's worth it. I have been very pleased with all the photos I have had taken at Ebert.

I have been taking my dog to Tails-a-Waggin for many years now. They always do an excellent job with the shampoo, haircut, and also with clipping nails. It's better to make an appointment, although I think they do take drop-offs. The weekends are quite busy, though, so don't count on that method to get your pet groomed. The staff are very friendly and obviously love working with animals. I am comfortable leaving my dog with them for a few hours. Highly recommended!

I boarded my dog here for about 6 days, and I wasn't at all happy with the service. It was my first time using any kind of kennel, so I didn't know what to expect. Hollywood doesn't allow customers to view the actual area where the pet will be kept; they say it is too stressful for the animals that are already in there. But I have since learned that any kennel that isn't open about the boarding area is probably not trustworthy. My dog was returned to me with a cut on his nose. The staff couldn't explain how or when he got the injury. I haven't gone back since then.

Geppetto's is a nice little Italian restaurant. They have excellent pizza and awesome sandwiches. The seating area in the restaurant is very limited, so I wouldn't count on getting a table without a reservation during peak evening and weekend hours. That being said, they do offer carry-out and a delivery service, so even if you can't get a table you can still enjoy their great food.

There's not much in the way of casinos in this area, so we have to take what we can get. The Grand Victoria is the best of the riverboat casinos in the suburbs. I like how the gaming floor is nice and wide open. You don't feel crowded in and claustrophobic like at a couple of the other casinos. The GV has plenty of craps and blackjack tables, as well as Caribbean stud poker, roulette, Baccarat, and slots. During the weekdays, minimum bets at these tables are $5, but this jumps to $15 on weekends, so beware of that. Otherwise, I have to say that I have had many enjoyable gambling sessions at Grand Victoria.

Erik's Deli is one of my favorite restaurants. Don't let the name fool you; it's not a deli in the "sandwich only" sense. They have a pretty big menu to choose from. You can get everything from a salad bar to chicken fingers to ice cream. They also have a fabulous honey mustard vinaigrette dressing that you can purchase. I always buy a few bottles to use with my chicken dishes at home.

Quality TemPerm is an employment agency that specializes in quality control assignments. If you have a background in QC inspection, or if you want to get started, this is a good agency. They have found a couple of great jobs for me over the years. The jobs were paid at a high hourly rate, and one of them led to an offer for full-time employment. They have really nice people on staff who seem to truly care about finding you a job.

Ultramax Tan is a good tanning salon. I don't go there regularly, but I like to stop in during the winter months to get a bit of a tan going. It's also a good idea to tan here for a couple of sessions before going on vacation so that you don't get a burn. The tanning beds are newer and are very clean, so give this place a try!

Cuts of Class is a nice little privately-owned hair salon that is a refreshing change from the large chain salons in this area. The stylists are very competent and the prices are reasonable. I have never had a bad hair cut from here. I also like the convenient location. Give this place a try if you are looking for a new stylist.

I had a very bad experience with this outfit many years ago. I needed a new transmission in my car, so I coughed up more than $1000 for it. In less than a month, I started having the exact same problems with my car, so I brought it back to J&L. They refused to honor their warranty, saying that although the car did indeed have a transmission problem, it was a "different" one, so wasn't covered in their warranty. That was an interesting approach, considering they did a complete rebuild the first time around. Anyway, I took my car somewhere else and got the problem fixed the right way. Stay away from these guys!
