JJ5, we're in Orland Park but lived in the city until about 5 years ago but try to make a point of going into the city as much as possible. Both of us work in the 'burbs now with 20 minute commutes so living in the city doesn't make much sense.

Tinley Park here. My daughter is in Orland, one son in Homer, one son in Tinley. All after living other places, other states. I'm a stones throw from I-80 just off Lagrange Rd., great for the Michigan trek. LOL!

Just found out I'm going in the other direction tonight. Have a good time at the Wine Crush. I'm going to have to take the train to see the new Millenium Park before the snow flies. So many places, so little time. I work in Romeoville and do more of a reverse commute. Traffic is still LOTS different than it was in '87 when I came out this way. Looks like we are going to get I-355 to come down to us now, but it's going to take 5 or 6 years. Hope you have your toll sticker on your car, they are going to raise the payment soon if you don't have your automatic sticker in place. Bet you have one already!

JJ5-We're in south Orland just the other side of LaGrange! Our 5th anniversary this weekend so we're playing tourists in our own town-staying in the city tomorrow night and going to hit Wine Crush and Millenium Park-went to Park Grille there with some girlfriends the other night and I must admit the food was ok, not great. Maybe a bad night...

You sound like you'll have a great time-tell us about it when you return. AND HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! My daughter's is today and she is either 7 or 8, I think.
