U-Pick apples, pumpkins, and more

Fall is coming, and we live in the midwest. Do you have the itch to go out among ~nature~ and pick apples, pumpkins, or something else?

Here is a guide to pick-your-own stuff sorted out by county. I'm trying to get together a group of friends to go apple picking later in the month, and possibly get pumpkins as well. Have you ever gone apple picking? Do you make a yearly trip to the pumpkin patch, get a Jack-O-Lantern at the grocery store, or not bother with Halloween at all?

Spotlight On: The Abbey Pub

I thought it might be fun if people posted about various places, events, neighborhoods, festivals, stores, eateries, etc in the city. Today I'm going to cover The Abbey Pub.

A neighborhood feature at 3420 West Grace Street, Chicago, IL 60618 since 1973, The Abbey Pub is a pub and restaurant featuring live music, open mic nights, karaoke, sports events, and an Irish-American brunch on the weekends. If you're looking for your fill of rugby, soccer, and Gaelic Football in a convivial atmosphere, The Abbey Pub is the place for you. They also have a unique bi-level seating arrangement. I like to go onto the second floor, order food, and look down at the band and crowd below while eating.
