I LOVE …
… the mini-desserts at Timpano (22 E. Chicago Ave.) in Naperville. For $1.95, you can get a few bites of creme brulee or cheesecake–just enough to satisfy a sweet tooth. It is a nice change from the gigantic desserts offered by some places.
–Sandra Bartusiak Pierce, Shorewood
… the murals on the railroad embankment on Hubbard Street between Ogden and Des Plaines.
— Robin Mather Jenkins, reporter
… the diversity of plant species and the color they add to the landscape of Chicago.
–Dexter Causey, Chicago
I HATE …
… that Chicago’s newest department store is already playing Christmas music in its first-floor Christmas shop.
–Marcia Lythcott, editor
… those little pop-ups that appear on the bottom of my TV screen when I am watching a program. It’s not like my computer where I can hit delete them. No, they have to be animated and detract from the program that I want to watch.
— Lizz Dewey, Crystal Lake
… the folks in Chicago who can’t celebrate that same diversity and color in people.
–Dexter Causey, Chicago
