Smeh. The longer I live here the more scared I am of actually buying a home. I read people's…read morecomments on FB EGV groups (which I left all of them) and allowed local businesses to supply me with their services. It is like pulling the toupe off a guy and seeing he is bald. Elk Grove Village is a Self Rule Government that apparently (by reading other people's comments who have lived here for years) does as it wishes. The fire department employees are great people. The police department has nice people also, but does some underhanded hiding to snag speeders such as parking in the middle of the road at night with their lights off. I called them out on this and I was told it's legal and that is how they make money. Sure it's legal. Shaking my head. There is a great industrial park where a Freedom of Information Act should be filed as to how much tax dollars are coming into this village for there is not one park bench found except for along Devon Avenue where they have some sculptured Elk. Devon is not very close to residential areas. The residents have pointed out to me the government has offered land development contracts to friends out of the area (no proof of any friendship). They have torn down a bowling alley people used. Restaurants have closed up due to daydreaming landlords of property value. The Jewel/Osco during the last snowstorm let the people's feet melt the ice and snow. The manager of course blamed the landlord. The hospital, is a whole other story in itself. The people are nice for the most part. They are NOT heroes because they worked during the pandemic. A hero has a different meaning than doing your job. This last time I was there in the emergency room with terrible stabbing pains in my back, the nurse wheeled me into a small intake room and whacked the side of the chair into the doorway. No sorry as I grimaced in pain. EGV is not cute by any stretch of the word unless you think Rumplestilskin was handsome. If you want cute, go to Galena. That is cute. EGV...Hunchback of Notre Dame.

I want to thank Officer Marron for taking time out of his busy day to rescue my Bengal cat!…read more I just moved into a townhouse and my curious cat jumped from the top of the water heater straight down to the floor. Of course she couldn't jump back up because there was barely any room for her to turn around. She was TERRIFIED, howling and scratching trying to get free. Officer Marron arrived after the fire dept had just left and said there was nothing g they could do. Officer Marron brought out a critter catcher piece of equipment and with much difficulty my cat was rescued! I am forever in his debt as my cats are more than cats to me. Thank you Officer Marron you are a hero!

This police department is a scam. Officers sit out and pull over a dozen vehicles that weren't…read morespeeding, they scare your kids, then write a speeding ticket not listening to a thing you say. Not listening to you pointing at your trip mph that literally shows your recent speeds. Their BUSINESS MODEL is just to send a dozen people a day to traffic court next door. They don't even show up. They know it's all bull sh!t. Then you pay either $500 for an attorney or $500 for court supervision for 3 months. That's how sad the police are these days. How embarrassing to be one of these slime balls.

Well pretty quiet for a board meeting, it's about time. Read the apology letter that trustee 5…read morewrote but did not read at the meeting for his actions at the last meeting. The attorney Peter tried shutting down my speaking but guess what it's not your meeting. This issue is now over unless trustee number 5 runs again. I also brought up inquiring about if the village received any of the $5 million from Dupage county earmarked for Park districts and fire departments. I was told no regarding park districts because we dont have one. This was abolished by the previous administration. We have 2 fire districts and couldn't get an answer to their portion. Remember our parks have been running at a deficit for years but with the new administration we seem to be heading in a better direction.

The ladies who work here are very rude. They hate people with foreign accents. Furthermore, this…read morevillage is very greedy. They're charging me $10 extra just because I have a B-truck. Living in Glendale Heigh is like living under a dictatorship. They give tickets for everything. Additionally, this is a high crime area. Update: they've added a bunch of red light cameras all over the place. They're so sneaky they don't even send the bill and just add the late fees. I've already paid $300 in red light tickets - all that money is being sent to Islamic schools in the Middle East. I'm moving out of Glendale heights in a few months. UPDATE: I bought a red light camera name plate blocker for my truck. Let's see how they send me red light tickets again.

We hired them to install a sign in our Chicago area office and the unprofessionalism taking place in their office is unsurpassed.

Contrary to what they will have you believe, there are more reliable companies offering better rates. Use another company.

Let me just say that my experience of getting certified here was the best I've ever had. I took an…read moreACLS course with Jim & he was such an awesome guy. I know these certification courses can drag on forever - watching videos, role playing, etc., but he makes it so fun by integrating stories and little acronyms/rhymes to make concepts stick. Also, he's a paramedic so he has tons of personal experience and really knows his stuff. Overall, solid people, solid place. If you want to be certified in CPR, ACLS, etc., definitely do it at CET with Jim & I promise it will be worthwhile!!

GUESS WHO'S BACK BACK AGAIN…read more It's me, Eminem hasn't released a song in years. Anyways, as I said before, I came back for my renewal! This time I had a class with Lauren. Again, great class, and I love the real world applications that you learn about. You get more practical advice and information in classes here than anywhere else. Both Lauren and Jim have years of experience, so you really do learn a lot - above and beyond the information you'll get from just the AHA material alone. 3 years later, still highly recommend!
