The purchase was very painless. The office has a large amount of local brochures regarding local restaurants and entertainment venues. So if you need any information regarding Lakeview, just stop in or go to their website. The Chamber does a great job of informing the community of various events via email and I enjoy receiving the emails. Keep up the good job.

This review is NOT aimed at the entire police force as I find them to be such a great resource…read more Although being a woman I really felt the need to comment on a women police officer in lakeview who is clearly on a power trip and is a complete negative to their force. How embarassing as a women to have to admit to the stereotype but she fit it right on. I was walking down the street after bar time headed home minding my own businness. She peaked her head out of a passenger side police truck to tell me she didn't like the shoes I was wearing and i bet I regretted wearing them...funny I wasn't walking funny or limping but she felt the need to go out of her way to say that and to ask where my firends were. We had seperated a block before because of where we live. if she cared anything about me,(or was doing her job) she would've simply askked if I was alright and if i needed help, buat no, she's bitter . (or at least looked that way) I have had so many other police officers make sure I make it home alright or ask if I'm okay. . Isn't that the ponit of the job? To make sure everyone is safe? Not to mock them on their way home...especially if they didn't ask.

Instead of helping me the man who answered the phone yelled at me about how I need to "change my way of thinking" and he "doesn't understand what's wrong with people these days who don't want to call the police." I do not understand where this attitude was coming from, but I certainly did not need a lecture, I was just asking very nicely where to direct my call if that number was not the correct one. Maybe people don't call the proper lines because of people like this guy who don't know how to be kind and helpful!

When calling to check delivery status on items being shipped that have a strange status request,…read moreyou want to calm and get accurate description to the status - BUT, the people at this facility MEVER answer the phone. No option to leave voicemail and the ringer rings for probably 5 minutes and then disconnects. So, I call back and continue to do so for the next 45 minutes - NO ONE ever answers the calls!!! Not helpful to customers at all. The entire Chicago USPS is God awful and no supervisors or managers se to care either. If you can, don't use USPS as they customer service is nonexistent and half the time they "lose" your package. Ship with UPS instead and actually speak to someone whe having and issue with your delivery. This PO sucks and the people working there have ZERO customer service skills.

I had a package I needed to send, but I don't own a printer and I needed to print a prepaid shipping label. After about 10 minutes of standing at the desk ringing the bell, a woman begrudgingly walked out, asked what I wanted, and I said I needed to ship a package but didn't have the label printed so I was hoping they could print it for me. She looked at me and said "we don't do that here" and stormed off. Honestly not sure why this location is still open after all the terrible reviews it has...

This little library branch is hidden on Melrose just off of Lincoln. I never realized it was here…read moreeven though I only live about ten minutes away and have driven along Lincoln and Belmont within a block a million times. When combing the CPL's events calendar for baby and children's programs to which I could take my daughter, I found they have a story and play event for children under two years of age. Just the sort of thing I was looking for since much of the programming is either geared toward older children or has such a wide range (for instance, zero to five or zero to 13) that I'm not sure it's really geared toward children as young as mine currently is (six weeks when we visited the first time). It's not a large branch by any stretch of the imagination, but my viewpoint may be a bit skewed since the Sulzer Regional Library is my "home" library and it's quite large. The Lincoln-Belmont branch has a multipurpose room and what seems to me to be a relatively large children's area (it takes up about a third of the library). They have some tables and chairs for patrons throughout the library, and a few "pods" (for lack of a better term) that are individual semi-enclosed spaces for working or what have you. I wouldn't be surprised if they have a larger than typical children's section for the size because they also have stroller parking near the restrooms at the front. It makes sense to some extent, since it's not a huge place and getting a couple strollers around would clog up the place. With the children's events taking place largely in the multipurpose room, they aren't in the way of other patrons. I am surprised that it works so well since I'd be a little concerned about someone stealing my stroller. My little one registered as completing her first reading challenge here since I've been reading to her just about nightly since birth. I felt a little out of place at the first baby program we attended, but not as much at the second. There were about 20 other moms and babies at the first and three at the second and it was nice to have the larger and more intimate groups. I'm going to give it one more try by attending the next one to see how I feel. The librarian had a variety of activities for the little ones but it was geared more towards walkers (most of the branches are the same). There's parking at this branch in a private lot for the library, as well as a few spots on Melrose Avenue in front of the library building, so it will be easy to get here again.
