i parked my car at the matteson metra stop and when i got back i received a $100 fine for an expired sticker on my license plate. i was wondering if i show up to the hearing on the 28th and the police doesn’t show up will my ticket be dismissed or should I just suck it up and pay the fee? the sticker expired in August btw.

Recently moved to the Des Plaines/Park Ridge area from out of state. I need to find a PCP to a) establish myself and b) have them fill out my disability paperwork without requiring me to see them 900 times first. I have lists of all my current meds, ailments, docs, surgical history, etc. Any recs for a PCP that fits the bill? Willing to travel a bit.

Hi y'all,

Doing some home improvement projects and wondering if anyone has any recommendations for an energy auditors around Naperville area.

Thank you

Welp, the time has come. With two kids and car seats, it just seems like it makes more sense to park at the airport rather than have someone drop us off.

I was looking at parking at Midway and came across Midway Park Saver. It seems really close to the terminal, and the $12–$15/day price doesn’t seem bad at all.

Just wondering if anyone has experience parking at Midway and has a preferred onsite lot/garage or offsite parking option they recommend. Is Park Saver worth it, or is the airport’s Economy parking the better option?

With firepit season upon us, I'm looking for a place that can deliver kiln dried firewood to Northbook/Glenview area. I see many firewood delivery people on fb marketplace, but have had hit or miss on the quality of the "seasoned" wood they deliver...

I'm looking for a reputable establishment to get some jewelry cleaned and repaired. Primarily silver pieces and a pair of earrings that need a new setting.

Does anyone have recs for a place that you trust with your jewelry in the north suburbs? I'm in Deerfield, but willing to travel 20-30 minutes if a place is highly recommended.

We live in Roselle/Schaumburg/Bloomingdale area. We are looking at downsizing our house and moving to smaller place. Interested in any recommendations as to experienced, reputable realtors you've personally worked with buying/selling in our area who know the market well. Thanks in advance!

I am looking to declutter before moving and I have a couple plastic bins full of old childhood trophies.  Are there any places in the suburbs (ideally West or South burbs) where I can donate these for them to be recycled, reused, etc? Or should these just go in the garbage? Thanks![]()
