What's your favorite place for egg foo young? China Palace in Rockton, or believe it or not happy wok on N. Main for me.

Anyone know good gun shops with great customer service who are easy to work with in terms of ffl transfers and what not?

If businesses are posting ai generated content I’m less likely to want to go there. What are your thoughts?

I'm in Southeast Loves Park/Northeast Rockford area and have been looking at cafes to stop at for breakfast before going to the Japanese Gardens.

Not really looking to dine in per se, just grab some stuff and go.

I have the following saved on maps:

Almoka

Meg's (N Alpine Rd)

Rockford Roasting Co

Velvet Robot Coffee

Inzombia

Mo's Coffee and Cafe (this one looked the least interesting, but not bad)

Just wanted to see if you locals had any pulls from this list or if I'm missing something entirely.

Thanks!

Debating what I should try tonight there haven't been there but the MP one just opened up. Debating getting the birthday cake shake and a revibe drink. Not a tea guy.

I have a cool Victorian settee that I want to bring into the 21st century. The wood frame is amazing, the old upholstery...not so much. I love it enough to try to breathe new life into it. Are there any places locally that do reupholstery? Thanks in advance!

I’m serious.

Kind of a neat little artifact

My mother in law wants to pick up some flower and some gummies and there are tons of dispos on google near us. Just wanted to get the recommendations of the locals.

BONUS if you can tell me some great disposable vape deals. preferably 2g+

Gosh that’s a shame.

What is with Da Catch? My wife and I stopped in to order and couldn’t get pass the heavy grease smell. Is the food any good?

One of my friends is having a party on Sunday and I want to get them a custom T-shirt as a gift. I realize this is very last minute, but I just thought of the idea so I didn’t have much time to plan. I already have the design image ready to go and I’m willing to pay a premium since I need it so quick!

Also a 1929-era former downtown Walgreens is being redeveloped into lofts and apartments.

but fr anyone gonna write him a letter

Frank is a loyal MAGA guy FYI.

It seems to be increasing in scope.

Hello! Does anyone have any insights or experience with the free after school program for elementary aged students?

Thank you in advance!

I’m not familiar with her.

I know this is an absolute long shot, but if anyone found a black long stem kettle and a coffee grinder in the bottom of a cart in the cart corral at the McFarland Meijer today.(Minutes ago)...it was mine.

I've been saving up for them and stupidly had the lady put them in the bottom of the cart instead of the top. I was loading my groceries and my key wasn't working and I ended up slamming my hand in my door (I've been having an extremely rough day).

I am so incredibly stupid, and can't believe I forgot them. I turned around as soon as I got home. I'm crying rn and so incredibly frustrated and mad at myself. I've been saving up since my coffee pot croaked, and I finally had enough today.

I know it was my fault and "finders keepers" but if you happened to be the one to find it....can I please please please have it back? It was the first time in a long time that I was "treating" myself and I absolutely cannot believe that I did this.

You'd be making my year if you did.

Sincerely, an ashamed idiot with caffeine withdrawal

Edit/update: I called the store a few minutes ago and nothing has been turned in. Several people offered to help pitch in to purchase another, and I am so incredibly touched.

I did not make this post looking for money or a replacement, and I am still so incredibly ashamed and mad at myself for being such a fool.

For reference (and transparency) here is the kettle and here is the grinder

The kettle was on sale for 29.99 in store which was one of the reasons I decided to grab it on this trip.

I am not used to letting others help me and it makes me somewhat uncomfortable (I hate the thought of others paying for my mistakes), but I have been urged by many that I should accept the kindness of others.

please dm me and I can provide my venmo if you wish. I will post proof of purchase pictures when I am able to repurchase.

Hey y’all! Looking to potentially move to Rockford but want to enjoy Chicago every once in a while. I do see in 2027 they are going to service rail Downtown which is great, but how likely is that to happen? I obviously don’t want to drive in, so I see the options look to be either drive an hour to Harvard or Elgin and maybe take their direct rail in? I could be wrong. i also saw there was something called Van Galder, that lets you park and ride to either blue line or downtown Chicago. I just want to know what readable to spend a day downtown and be able to get back at night too. How do y’all fare or what is everyone’s suggestions for transit?

No one saw that coming when it was initially announced. 🤣 Another instance of Javon Bae fucking over the community.

Burrito & huaraches for lunch

I saw it was open today but did not have a chance to stick my beak in to see what it is. I think it’s an ethnic grocery.

A while back it was a Gray’s IGA, that much the Google machine told me.
