I LOVE …
… visiting the Garfield Park Conservatory at any time of year. It’s always a treat for the senses. You can bring a book, sit by the pond, and imagine that your back yard is the Brazilian rain forest.
— Polly Dickson, St. Charles
… the shepherd’s pie at the Atlantic Bar & Grill (5062 N. Lincoln Ave.). It is not only light — something I thought I would never say about shepherd’s pie — but bursting with really yummy, wonderfully spiced flavor.
— Peter Fuller, editor
… the “Bean.”
— Margie Brandt, Vernon Hills
I HATE …
… Rollerbladers who take up the whole lakefront running path and the people who walk, run, bike and Rollerblade on the wrong side of the path — stay to your right!
— Deborah Wall, Chicago
… people who are in line at a fast-food place and don’t know what they want when they get to the front.
— Doug Hartman, Kenilworth
… intermission at the opera, symphony or theater where people block others who need to move more quickly by chatting, stretching or simply standing in the aisle.
— Andrea Bacon, Chicago
