I LOVE …
… the downstairs lounge at La Piazza (410 Circle Ave.) in Forest Park. The live music and posh setting provide a downtown Chicago vibe.
— Regina Robinson, reporter
… the smell of carne asada when I walk past Uncle Julio’s Hacienda (855 W. North Ave.) every night.
— Hugo Espinoza, art director
… Mel-O-Cream Donuts (704 Keokuk) in Lincoln. Even after 20 years away from my hometown, I still make it a point to visit at least once a year, just to have a taste of their soft and chewy donuts.
— Sandy Shin, Tinley Park
I HATE …
… department stores that refuse to make the children’s clothing section stroller friendly; Carson Pirie Scott in Wilmette is the worst!
–Deb Barnett, Kenilworth
… waiting in line for 40 minutes just to print out my digital pictures at Walgreens, ’cause some lady needs to edit all 600 of her vacation pictures at 5 p.m. on a weekday.
— Lisa Howard, DeKalb
… cashiers who fail to acknowledge customers they are checking out while also carrying on profane conversations with co-workers.
— Tom Keller, Oak Lawn
