I bought my first stereo at Plass when in college (Dale Plass sold it to me). My parents often bought their appliances from Plass when they lived in Elmhurst. It was a quality store with very helpful employees. I am sure it will be missed by many. Best wishes for your new ventures in Florida.   more ›

Crest Lighting Auction Scheduled for Mid-May

The company is still seeking a buyer for the Ogden Avenue storefront.

A liquidation auction for the remaining inventory in Crest Lighting's former Lisle store is scheduled for May, according to a rep for the lighting company. Roughly 300 pieces from the store at 1600 Ogden Ave. were transferred to the company's New Lenox storefront, said Crest Lighting employee Amy Fimbianti. A liquidating company will auction the remaining fixtures, scheduled for May 19 at 9 a.m. at the store.

Getting to Know More About All Pet Pantry

After briefly operating in Lemont, this Lisle family found the perfect storefront for their natural pet food store on a drive through town.

There are a variety of reasons a pet owner may want to explore holistic, or alternative, food options to leading commercial brands, says All Pet Pantry owner Tom Thornton. One reason, he said, is that holistic options tend to eliminate grain products, and attempt to replace those calories with other ingredients from the food pyramid, like vegetables. Thornton said they may be suited for pets who need overall health improvement, suffer from certain allergies, or other digestive issues. While brands aren’t necessarily formulated toward specific breeds, they are tailored to varying activity levels. Thornton swears by holistic methods for his own brood of dogs, cats, birds, and bearded dragon (his family also occasionally fosters rescued …

Fabulous Noodles Named "Restaurant Worth Leaving Chicago For"

The Tavern Road spot was one of 36 suburban restaurants to receive the honor from Chicago Reader. Which establishments would you say are worth a commute?

  Chicago Reader recently compiled a handy list of restaurants throughout the suburbs they believe Chicago residents would consider worthy of the commute. Fabulous Noodles, 4663 Old Tavern Rd., was one of 36 restaurants recognized.

Read their full list of recommendations for the western suburbs, and the other Fabulous Noodles dishes they praised.   Review Fabulous …
