I love …
… the hand-cut french fries at Bubby’s Beefs and Red Hots (1026 E. Higgins Road) in Elk Grove Village.
— Donna Zimmerman, Vernon Hills
… making my town cleaner by picking up litter on my morning run — almost as much fun as finding money on the street, but not quite.
— Val Price, Western Springs
… the view south from East Randolph Street. You overlook Millennium Park, The Art Institute, Buckingham Fountain, Grant Park and the Museum Campus, all on the shore of Lake Michigan.
— Tom Conforti, Western Springs
… the sound of popping acorns beneath my bike tires on the Lake County Forest Preserve bike trails.
— Marty Mikenas, Wauconda
I hate …
… that half the time when there’s a femme fatale in a movie — a female who’s up to no good — her name is “Gloria.”
— Gloria Kaplan Sulkin, Chicago
… the late-evening dog walkers who don’t carry a flashlight and cannot possibly see where to “pick up.”
— Norma Simmons, Park Ridge
… people who still don’t use a reusable bag. If you don’t have one, just get one already!
— Dana Buttacavoli, Bloomingdale
… riding to a forest preserve through all of the broken glass on the road.
— Marty Mikenas, Wauconda
