I am a Long Grove realtor who has been posting blog posts about Sunset Foods coming to Long Grove Illinoissince 2007.

I have a client that has a unique challenge. Masked bandits have been scouting out her house. They are scoping out entrances and have even been brave enough to attempt to enter the home on more than one occasion. Don’t panic – Buffalo Grove residents aren’t experiencing a new crime wave. They are, however, experienceing the invasion of the raccoons. These cute, furry, friendly-looking critters can actually do a tremendous amount of damage if they find their way into your attic. To help try and keep raccoons from entering your Buffalo Grove home, make sure you are doing the following: [Read more…]
I love Didier Farms. Every time I pass by Didier Farms I have many fond memories of when my children were young and they had the best time getting lost in the maze or finding the biggest and best pumpkin after the hayride tractor dropped us off in the fields. When Didier Farms closes in the fall on Halloween, it is a sad reminder that winter is fast approaching. This year, there are many differnet admission options designed for the busy lifestyle of today’s families: [Read more…]

I love Stevenson High School Football!
My eldest son graduated from Stevenson High School last May where my two younger sons are now freshmen. Although none of my children will be ever be football players, our family has consistently supported the Stevenson High School football games.
Since the time my eldest son was 3 years old, we have loved attending the games. The football games are so much fun to watch and a great way to spend a Friday night with your family. You would be surprised how many of your neighbors come watch these high-spirited games.
Recently I attended the Varsity Stevenson High football game on Friday night; a blow out against Highland Park (42-7). Additionally, my freshman sons have so many friends on the freshman football team that our family came back out Saturday morning to support the rookies. The Freshman A and B teams also won their games against Highland Park.
If football is not your thing, you can also come to watch the varsity half-time entertainment. The Stevenson High School Marching Band and Pom-Pom girls put on a show that is spectacular. Friday night games, especially the homecoming game are very crowded and parking may be a problem, so it is advisable to come early.
Here is a Stevenson High School Football schedule for the rest of the season… Hope to see you there!
“It must take you forever to get to the airport!” Truth is, it’s neither complicated nor very time consuming to get to O’Hare International Airport from the Chicago Northwest Suburbs. My personal best has been 23 minutes door-to-door (although I will admit to that particular trip starting at 4:30 in the morning). Here are the three, easiest ways I have found to O’Hare plus one bonus:
Metra North Central Service
The Metra North Central Service (which includes service to Buffalo Grove) is a commuter service that stops at the O’Hare Transfer Station (located at Remote Parking Lot F). Once there, you can connect, via the airport shuttle bus system, to the People Mover. I have to tell you, this is not my favorite way of getting to the airport, but it is definitely the least expensive. This is best for those times when you can pack light.
Cab
Taking a cab is definitely my favorite way of getting to O’Hare and I have never been let down by American Taxi. They have set fares to the O’Hare and will pick you up any time, day or night. Fares from Buffalo Grove are about $35 (there may be additional fees based on gas rates, etc.). Tipping is expected and will increase your price tag from $7 – $10. The best thing about a cab is the door-to-door service so you don’t have to leave the house earlier just to account for parking time. One caveat, if you are taking a cab FROM O’Hare to the Chicago Northwest Suburbs, call ahead and schedule the service. It is next to impossible to find a cab driver willing to take you that far out to the suburbs without a reservation. It can also cost nearly $75 for the ride.
Driving
If you are only traveling overnight, I would suggest driving to O’Hare and parking in the daily parking lot. Parking runs $30 a day, but this lot is as close to the airport as you can get if you are driving a car. Lot A, floors 2, 3, 4, 5, & 6 offer the best access to the terminals. You can get the best spot if you call ahead and find out which terminal you need to access for your flight and park accordingly. And if you really want convenience, $45 will get you valet service!
Park and Fly
Now, I haven’t tried this service myself, but I know people who swear by it. You get the most bang for your buck with this service if you have an early morning flight and you really don’t want to leave the Northwest Suburbs at 4:00am to catch your flight. There are participating hotels around O’Hare that offer a room for the night and then parking for your car for the duration of your trip. For example, the Quality Inn’s package offers one night’s accommodation, 7 days of parking and shuttle service to and from the airport for $89. Go to the Park Sleep Fly website for more information and to make reservations.
Hopefully this will help everyone get to O’Hare with a little less hassle, a little more peace and ready to tackle a long day of travel.
