Everything totaled to be a little over a thousand dollars- which was significantly more affordable than every other venue I inquired with.

We have been having parking issues for years, and as my parents got older, their health had gotten worse. We needed to be able to drive up to the porch, or park directly in front of the house, and sometimes, that's not possible. I reached out to the city, and was put in contact with Vanessa, and she explained the process so clearly. She even personally delivered the money order for the fee to my Mom's home, because payment cannot be accepted until it has been approved by the board. I was able to watch the board meeting, and learn the extended process, and hear when it was approved. I didn't have to continuously hassle her about updates. She communicated thoroughly. She provided a time frame of when the signs would be installed, and sure enough, it was done. LaMont and Harris was right on time. It took them no time to install the signs, and they were very professional. They also understood the reason for the signs, and mentioned how neighbors used to be, and how we are all working towards a Greater Gary. They offered their prayers for my Mom, and went about their way. Thank you to the City of Gary Public Works Department for a job well done from start to finish!! That's what I'm talking about! #Garyrocks!

What a nice little library to stumble into while in downtown Valparaiso. I like to visit libraries…read morewhen I'm visiting a new-to-me town, so it was fortuitous that I happened to need to use the john at the same time that I saw the Valparaiso Public Library in the distance. I'm happy to report that the restrooms are clean! And the restrooms are close to the entrance! (Whew!) But more importantly, this library has books. And movies! And magazines! (Remember those?) And it has nice places to lounge and read or work. I posted up at one of those nice places for a while with my laptop, in a quiet nook off in the corner with barstool seating. This particular nook had big windows and plants on the windowsill, which was nice. I was able to connect to the free wifi, and plug my laptop into the library electrical juice. The second floor is mostly the children's floor, but there's also a genealogy center up there, too. The children's / youth area has some fun things to play with, plus computers, games, and, of course, children's and YA books. It's a cozy little place just for kids. This library isn't huge, and it's probably due for an update, but it's a great little library right in downtown Valpo.

Although all the staff were busy, the bright colors in the stairwell made it easy to see the way to the kids' area. Upstairs, there are tons of books, toys, and even a craft station. When we visited, the craft was decorating crayons. The crayons from other kids adorned the walls, and it was so cool to be able to leave our mark while we were traveling from Michigan. We loved all the toys in the play kitchen, but I felt guilty that my son was over there because it was right next to the reading area. So, as other parents were quietly reading to their kids, my little guy was whipping up a 5 course meal with plastic food and utensils. He loved it so much that I couldn't pull him away, so I wish it was a little more separated from the quiet area so kids in both spots can get the most out of their experiences. There are restrooms right next to the play area and an elevator in addition to the stairs. Overall, a great place to hang out with littles on a hot day!
