Let's talk about vehicle stickers…read more I was not aware of this phenomenon until I moved to Illinois. I was not aware that many suburbs had them until I moved to Wood Dale. THOSE stickers are actual stickers. They are an enormous pain to get off. It took me over an hour to scrape, peel, razor and spray my previous two off. So enter Lombard. You know what Lombard's vehicle stickers are? Vinyl cling. No adhesive, no mess. BRILLIANT. I love it. It's such a small thing, and yet, I am so grateful. For I know as long as we live in Lombard, I will not have to peel and scrape endless stickers off my windshield each year. (Oh, and the police and public works departments are pretty helpful, as previously noted. They listen to my suggestions. They take my stolen GPS report without calling me an idiot. They CALL me to explain why there's no crosswalk at Highland and Majestic. Rock and roll.)

Please explain to me why it is now 7/17 and the storm debris is STILL on every street? I've driven through Elmhurst and Villa Park and they are at least making progress. But you? Nooooo. Also, remember that blurb in my original review about the oversight on my part in paying my sewer bill? Did you have to retaliate with oversight on YOUR part in closing the file on that as PAID? The mortgage company was not amused when it came time to re-finance. Neither was I.

Typically DMV's do not receive high score reviews. I received excellent service today so I thought…read moreit only fair to leave a 5-star review. This review is for the service I received when I requested a 6 month renewal for my temporary disabled parking placard. At 7:45am there was a line of about 15 people. The worker at the door checked my paperwork I brought with me. He said he would get my number and showed me where to sit . He immediately brought me my number and showed me the signs to watch for my number to be called. About 1 minute later my number was displayed and I walked to the correct counter. My renewal was quickly processed. Total time in the center - 10 minutes Excellent

Honestly way worse than some of the smaller town cops. A friend recently moved out of this town since they allow multiple families (like 3 to 4) to reside in one single family home.

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.

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.

This location has slightly moved in the plaza since I last visited. The new location is modernized and clean. Staff confirm you have an appointment prior to getting in line.

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!

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.

My daughter and her tutor used the Hemingway study room on 5/20 at approximately 5:45 p.m…read more Unfortunately, the experience was extremely unpleasant and concerning. The group using the room prior to them left half-eaten sushi in the trash can, causing the room to smell strongly of fish. To help with the odor, my daughter's tutor, who is also a Glen Ellyn resident, placed the trash can partially in the doorway to keep the door slightly open for ventilation. An employee described as taller with dark hair approached them and stated that it was "policy" that the trash cans had to remain inside the room with the door closed. When the tutor explained the odor issue, the employee returned with a bottle of Febreze and sprayed it directly in their direction inside the enclosed study room, then placed the sushi-filled trash can back inside the room and shut the door again while reiterating that the door had to remain closed. My daughter became physically ill after the session and vomited when she got home. Regardless of intent, spraying a scented chemical irritant into a small enclosed space without asking the occupants was inappropriate and unprofessional. More concerning is that the obvious solution -- simply removing or emptying the trash containing rotting food -- was ignored in favor of masking the smell with spray fragrance. This situation demonstrated poor judgment, lack of customer care, and an unnecessary escalation of a simple sanitation issue.

If I could give the village no stars, I would. I've lived in Addison for more than four years and…read moreevery interaction I've had with the staff here, particularly at the finance counter, has been unpleasant. First, before they even start any interaction, they ask you how you're going to pay for it. I don't know, with seashells? The tone of voice they use implies that they think you can't pay. Also, I went there this morning to get a $50 stamp for refinancing my home. This is our second refinance, yet this time, we have to get a sewer inspection. I have no idea why, we're not building, nothing is changing hands, we're just trying to get a lower rate. They only schedule these inspections on certain days during certain hours (plumb job, huh?). I voiced my annoyance with this hoop I had to jump through after four months of trying to refinance and the woman at the finance counter snottily told me "All the information is on our Web site." I told her, rightfully so, that the Web site is archaic and hard to navigate. I couldn't even find the hours that the village is open on the Web site and had to check the village's Facebook page. I hope that the several hours of inconvenience the village is creating for me is really worth the $50 they're charging me for this stamp. I am positive that the $50 will not offset the cost of a city employee coming to my house to inspect my sewers.
