I wish I took a pic of the police
Both very young
One officer says
“I’m sorry we have to meet under such unpleasant circumstances”😏

In a few short weeks, we will all be lamenting the cooler temps and the shorter days. In just a month or two, we’ll be lamenting the cold weather, and question why we live here at all. So this is a reminder; we had an absolutely GORGEOUS spring and early summer! Then we had this INSANELY GORGEOUS late summer and early fall! It’s a genuine privilege to live in the most beautiful city in North America! Our park district here does such an awesome job!

When people ask for recommendations for movers, I usually suggest they go to Merchantile M. and ask for their list of the movers they suggest. Today I needed piece moved from my place in Rogers Park to my son’s place in Niles. So I reached out to Merchantile, got their list, and called Irving. He clearly knew his antiques, and how to move them with care. He showed up slightly early, was pleasant and professional, and got the task done in under 30 minutes. I’d definitely hire him again, and recommend him to anyone needing something to be moved or delivered. He even knew some of my neighbors who are antique dealers!

Some already may have heard we had a break-in yesterday early in the morning, around 5:42 am. They hit Replay as well. A very kind neighbor was walking his dog on Clark and heard and saw it happen. He called 911 as he was taking pics of the robbers and their car. He even got the license plate number which he shared with the police, but it was a stolen vehicle. The damage was minimal, under $1500, but nonetheless, it was a stressful way to start the day for the employees and myself. Still, I’m enormously grateful that it wasn’t much worse and that no one was hurt.
In Replay’s case, there was staff at the restaurant when it happened, and they wisely ran out the back door when they heard someone breaking in.
Often, when I see posts similar to this one, they’re captioned with “Be careful!”, but in truth, there’s little to be done in situations like this. One thing we did neglect (because this is the 1st break-in we’ve had in 30 years) was to leave the register open. With that, they will take the money, but not damage the equipment.
Anger is a normal response to being robbed, but honestly I don’t feel that at all. I know no one chooses to go into a life of crime, and only ends up doing it as a last resort. Some may think some addiction may be the motive, but it’s equally possible that survival is. I truly hope and pray that the men who did this are safe, and that their fortunes improve as soon as possible.

I want to give a shout out to Wholly Frijoles at 3908 W Touhy! We don’t have to leave the neighborhood with all the outstanding options here, but I have to acknowledge excellence when I experience it, and Wholly Frijoles delivers just that! The service was the warm, old school attentive service we just don’t see enough of these days, and the food was by far the best Mexican food that I’ve ever had! It so exceeded my expectations! Will definitely return.
(Sorry I didn’t take a better pic/ I was 1/2-way home when I realized I forgot!😳)

This week we’ll be doing our MONSTER Monday Dinner Special on Tuesday since we’re closing early for Labor Day! Enjoy any entree (except the Thanksgiving dinner) or entree salad for only $12 starting at 3:00pm this Tuesday, Sept. 8th! Dine in only!
Starting next week, because of rising costs, our Monday Special will be $14.75! Still a terrific deal, and helps us continue this generous tradition!

For any business in a community, I think it’s essential to be as accessible to as many people in that community as possible. We’re able to control our pricing because we don’t have investors that we’re beholden to. There’s only me in my modest little condo in West Rogers Park that needs to eek out a living. Still, even I blanch at a $5 cupcake or a $3 scone. But, unfortunately in order to maintain the quality of our product, which I will not sacrifice, while paying a livable wage for all our employees, our costs have to be what they are.
That being said, we do offer “specials” and discounts where and whenever possible. We do our $1 scones on Thursdays. Our Monster Monday Night Special where all entrees and entree salads are only $12 each (dine-in only!). And we offer an early dinner special Tuesday-Friday where 20% is take off your entire bill when you dine in between 4:00pm-5:30pm. We then also do an occasional hot chocolate special, or $1 coffee special. These are things we can do to make ourselves as available as possible to as many people as possible. Because, especially during these difficult times, every one of us deserves A Taste of Heaven!

I very sincerely highly recommend Bull & Barrel on north Western Ave. almost by Howard! Huge portions of very well prepared, delicious food! They smoke their own meats, and the quality is unmistakable! Even their sides are delicious! The collard greens were the best I’ve had (well, outside of ATOH’s😏). The fries were delicious, as was the mac & cheese and brussel sprouts. I had a combo plate of brisket and chicken, and brought home dinner for at least 2 more nights! My BFF Jean Swoboda had the pulled pork sandwich and she had to take 1/2 home as well! As well, the service was so lovely and professional! And they’re knowledgeable of how everything was made and all the ingredients! A truly outstanding meal! Also, big plus, they deliver! Barbecue is a rare treat for me, and this was by far the best I’ve ever had!

I sometimes forget what an incredibly gorgeous city we live in. There’s an absolutely beautiful bike trail the runs along the river from Belmont to Devon (where it then travels north along McCormick). It really is breath taking, well maintained and filled with gorgeous wild flowers. By Lane Tech there’s yet another Jeanne Gang masterpiece, a boat house, that was so massive I couldn’t get a great pic.
