Looking for recurring Bar Trivia nights around OP or surrounding area. Anyone have any spots? Would like to make it a regular weekly plan.

Has anyone had their wooden windows repaired? I'm looking for recommendations on a window repair company. I know about Von Dreele-Freerksen in Oak Park, they offer this service but I'm looking to compare quotes and haven't had too much luck finding other contractors. Most only do window replacement, which I'm not interested in.

Hi, apologies if this is a stupid question, I just moved to the area. I have a friend who will be staying with me from out of town. I have a parking spot in my apartment complex, but what do people usually do for guest parking? I'm near madison and harvey. I saw they have overnight passes, but that would mean we'd have to move the car at 11am and at 7? Is there a way for residents to get guest passes overnight? I tried looking on the website but it made me even more confused so I'm just wondering what other people do here. TIA!

What resources do people recommend? I've been renting in OP for about 20 years now, but it's been over 10 years since the last time I moved, so I wasn't sure what's good right now. In the past I've used Craigslist, a real estate agent, and the Regional Housing Center (though it looks like they don't take you to look at places anymore, I'm assuming because of COVID?).

Also, any management companies I should be wary of? Currently I'm renting someone's condo, and before that I rented from a private owner. I've seen a lot of bad reviews for Oak Park Apartments.

I’m near the Rush off Harlem and Madison. My apartment smells like a bonfire and it’s really hazy outside. Anybody know what’s going on?

Medmen’s inventory has been dwindling for months now. No topicals in many months, almost no edibles in the last two months. Last I looked they were down to concentrates. Now today their site is down. Does anyone know if they are even still open?

Any American Legions, Knights of Columbus or local Friday night fish fry’s with cheap cold beer? Either in or near Oak Park. But open to Berwyn, any surrounding towns too.

Has anyone tried bite the burbs this weekend? I see a lot of places have pre-fixe menus but I haven't found the menus. https://go.visitoakpark.com/bite-the-burbs-2024

What are your solid donut recommendations in the area besides Firecakes?

Hi guys, recently moved here and looking for a new hair dresser. My hair's dyed a strawberry/gold blonde color so someone who has experience working with reds would be appreciated. Any advice/recommendations welcome. TIA!

Looking to get some recommendations for a wooden front porch replacement. Not super familiar with the village permitting/inspection requirements so someone with experience working in OP would be great.

I've got a car that's been there for months now, and I've lost track of how long it's been since they've been open. For a long time the voicemail message has been updated to say they won't be in today but will be in (tomorrow, next week, whatever) without ever being able to reach anyone. Today it went straight to an automated voice message.

I'm sure the guy is going through some stuff but this is a pretty wild situation and I'm not even able to access my vehicle to take it somewhere else. Anyone here in that boat or have an idea what recourse is available?

I grew up elsewhere with a lot of winter time skiing and snowboarding including many trips to Colorado. Now that my kids are starting to come of age, I’d like to investigate getting us into skiing (including lessons for them).

I know there are a lot of places to go, including Wisconsin and Michigan, but I was wondering if there are any local clubs who might produce newsletters or other information that I could sign up for to learn more. Like possible trips, best time to buy tickets, moray affordable way for kids to investigate if they like it?

Thank you!

I moved to Oak Park from Bellingham WA, a town with the same population. My little Pacific Northwest town had at least a dozen dispensaries and an even greater number of breweries, whereas Oak Park has ... MedMen and One Lake. Is everyone really sober here or is this a zoning thing?

Are any Oak Park restaurants participating in Chicago Restaurant week, or are we not "Chicago" enough? I scanned through the list on the website, but nothing popped out.

I'm looking for a cozy kinda coffee shop where I can get some work done in the evenings. Any suggestions?
