PORTAGE PARK
You like to fish? You like to eat what you fish? If you do, there's a little known place in Portage Park, Hagen's Fish Market.
Not only do they have fish for you to purchase but they'll cook it for you too. Yep, if you bring in your catch, they'll cook it for you. They specialize in smoked and fried seafood for take-out service. There are no seats inside. There are a couple picnic tables outside.
LAKEVIEW
Perchance Boutique is celebrating its first birthday this evening from 7-9pm at its 3521 N. Southport location.
Find some great fashions, hidden treasures and more at this celebration filled with light bites, wine, DJ Michael Smith and raffle. Be sure to RSVP to joette@perchanceboutique.com and get on the guest list.
SOUTH LOOP
Starting this weekend you can attend an open house for the Motor Row Lofts located at 2303 S. Michigan Avenue in the South Loop. So why is this newsworthy information?
The lofts are being offered at auction on November 15. This is the only day the lofts will be offered at auction by Sheldon Good & Company. The lofts include one-, two- and three-bedrooms with minimum bids ranging from $140,000 to $240,000. A total of 20 unsold units will be available.
LINCOLN SQUARE
The Old Town School of Folk Music is one of the local treasures to Lincoln Square. Located at 4544 N. Lincoln it's just up the street from the Dean's Team new home and
Now you've got the great excitement of seeing Los Lonely Boys this Friday night in two separate shows. They will be playing a special acoustic set but be prepared for their famous "Texican Rock'n'Roll."
They will be joined by special guest Hacienda. They've been given comparisons to the Beach Boys if they grew up Mexican-American on the Texas coast.
NAPERVILLE
Coming this Monday, October 26th, the Naperville community will be opening a time capsule from 1939 at 4pm.
Earlier this summer, the plaque from the DuPage Centennial Marker in Central Park was removed for cleaning and restoration purposes as part of a larger project to conserve four monuments in Central Park.
When the Conservation of Sculpture & Objects Studio team removed the DuPage Centennial bronze plaque from the granite stone, a time capsule was revealed. The capsule is believed to have been placed behind the bronze plaque at the marker's dedication in September 1939 honoring the county's 100th anniversary.

How I miss the windy city! Before moving to San Diego with my family, we lived in Riverside and loved the small village atmosphere. Thanks for the information about what is happening in your communities - a great idea for our area also!
