Chicago Maternal Fetal Medicine
i had two ultrasounds done at Chicago maternal fetal medicine, and both times, i felt that the doctor helped me to feel like i was receiving quality care. he took the time to answer my questions, he reassured me about some of the concerns i was having, and he seemed to have a lot of knowledge about the ultrasound procedure. he also made the experience kind of fun and neat for my husband and I, as we found out the gender of our baby!
Eastgate Adventures
if you're easily annoyed, get defensive easily, or snap at people for little things, you may not want to partake in this adventure. this golf is not very mini. it's more like mega golf! don't get me wrong, it's extremely fun and it's great to be challenged, but if this if your first time playing, i hope you can add really high! well-priced good times.
Pizza Factory
if i didn't think it was really weird, i would carve on a tree, "I HEART PF." This place is seriously that good. the prices are extremely fair and the food is some of the best I've tasted anywhere... and that's not just in the tiny speck of north andover, it' in the nation, people - I'm well traveled. it's that good! for those of you reading this that live close by, and are saying, "the pizza factory, really?" you've never left your street and don't have any idea just how good you have it. count the seconds until you digest your last meal and run over to pizza factory for some great food!
Funny Bone
if you have ever been to a comedy club, you've been to the funny bone. the talent it brings in is about a B+, but it is a great place for a good time. seating can get a little tight. opening comics need to go to comedy school. yes, i know there is no comedy school, but I'm not trying to be funny. it is well priced and a good spot for a night out!
Zanies
you are probably laughing at great headliners at this staple to the second city's comedy. for the only spot in town to get quality stand up or any stand up at all, for that matter, zanie's is a nice spot if you have the cash for the good laughs and a couple of drinks. and remember, the more you drink , the funnier they are!
The Playground Theatre
if someone familiar with the playground theatre, that may be the very question that they are asking you. think of it as improv wholesale. this theatre run by performers is at times good for a quality laugh, but for the most part, you get what you pay for. i can recommend it, but not without you having checked other options first.
Dennis Place For Games
it's a little stinky, it's very dark, and from the outside could be interpreted as a strip joint. but it is, in fact, a hidden away, throw back to video game bliss. if you are in need of the arcade fix, it really is a great place to go. just don't wear sunglasses!
Blue Man Productions
if you have not yet seen blue man group, what are you waiting for? this is one of the neatest shows I have ever seen. it's somewhat of an indescribable show, and you really just have to experience, for yourself, firsthand what all the hype is about. the ticket prices are pretty expensive, but well worth it. however, if you are on a budget, and don't mind doing a little work, you can be an usher before the show and help clean up after the show, and you can see the show for free!
WhirlyBall
for those who don't know what whirlyball is, mix basketball and bumper cars...but instead of a basketball you have a wiffle ball and a scooper. that is a close interpretation of whirlyball. what you may not realize in hearing that is that this is AWESOME! if you don't have nine friends, start making phone calls and go get them, so you can have a full 5 on 5 blast of a good time!
Bridal Designs
when i was engaged, i was very very excited to be marrying my fiance! however, i was not a bride who wanted to do a ton of shopping for a wedding dress. so, i decided that i would go to one shop and buy my dress there. well, perhaps i could have shopped around longer, but dress shopping is not the greatest thing to do. while bridal designs has some lovely dresses, i was having a difficult time finding anything that looked like me. the woman that was helping us was also not too helpful, so she did not help to create a great wedding dress buying experience. however, toward the end of our shopping morning, i did find a beautiful dress that was pretty much exactly what I was looking for...simple, yet elegant. i have heard that many other bridal stores are much larger and have a broader selection of dresses. i liked the smaller store as it helped to create a calmer and less overwhelmed bride to be! the price of the dress was also a great deal ( we shopped for the dress during a pre-Christmas sale).
