I LOVE …
… flannel sheets in wintertime.
–Shirley Remes, South Elgin
… refreshing unsweetened mint iced tea at The Pita Inn (122 S. Elmhurst Rd., Wheeling).
–Monica Eng, reporter
… warm cinnamon-sugar churros at Costco in Niles (7311 Melvina Ave.). They’re so delicious and only cost $1. Plus at 14 inches long, they’re perfect for sharing.
–Stacey Curley, Chicago
… the fast breakfast service at Grant Square restaurant (13 Grant Square, Hinsdale). Place your order and, in what seems like a mere 3 to 5 minutes, your cooked-to-order eggs and pancakes are in front of you.
–Denise Joyce, editor
… turkey burgers and fresh-cut fries at That’s A Burger (2134 E. 71st St.)! Made to order, they are deliciously seasoned and well worth the wait!
–Juliana Stratton, Chicago
… that Chicago is a city of neighborhoods (77 different ones) with unique and diverse personalities all their own.
–Dexter Causey, Chicago
I HATE …
… when traffic management aides tell me to go when the light is green and stop when the light is red.
–Juliana Stratton, Chicago
… when people complain that they have to walk through the smoking section of a restaurant to get to the non-smoking section.
–Jeffrey Wiseman, Chicago
… finding recipes torn out of magazines in the doctor’s office.
–Joan Groner, Highland Park
… trendy restaurants where you don’t know which restroom to enter because you can’t distinguish the men’s room symbol from the women’s room symbol.
–Jody Williams, Chicago
… that “slim chance” and “fat chance” mean the same thing in our language.
–Bill McLean, Palatine
… when I call 411, directory assistance. They NEVER can find the number I want, even if I am looking out the window and actually SEE the place I need the phone number for.
–Ellen Warren, senior correspondent
