My team was on the west rink, for reference. There's plenty of seating for this rink too, including high top tables!

I'm a fan of this barn…read more I especially like the stadium feel of the main rink and the various options for seating. My son said the ice was "decent", though it was a little uneven in a few spots. I think there needs to be a more efficient way to communicate when a game is at the John street barn, so that you're not having to get out at the main location. We had part of a tournament at this location and it was conducive to keeping the kids engaged, with the outdoor fields and areas to fill the down time.

They've also added a gym where there was a hockey shop. The studio rink is still there, so it's a great place for small practice groups. My son has had goalie coaching there. The only sad part of this rink is there's only one sheet. It's a shame because the remodel is looking good!

This is a nice ice rink with a full rink and a smaller studio for practice. There is a small Home…read moreIce shop if you need some equipment. Seems to have larger sizes because once or twice I have popped in to get socks or something small and they were very nice and friendly but didn't have a small size for a 7 year old. The snack bar has a big menu. I have stuck with cups of coffee but they seem to do a pretty good business.

Great race! Not very big, but put on well, for it being a neighborhood race. The course route was…read morevery well marked, with mile markers, and cones along the way. Edgewater 5k, is one of those races that attracts members in the neighborhood; some surrounding. Majority of the runners were elementary students, that attend the neighborhood schools in the Edgewater neighborhood. Some of the older runners were former students, or teachers at Edgewater schools What interested me about this event, was that some of the proceeds benefited the local schools; which ever one you chose to donate to. No, I'm not a former student of any of the schools, but i do attend church at Swift Elementary, which is one of the schools that participated in the race. I've also volunteered at Swift Elementary, so I felt the need to support Swift. Lots of post run food at the finish: bananas, pancakes, water, etc. ATHLETICO, was even on site, giving out massages to finishers which was great. Overall this event was great, and I look forward to running it again in the future. Enjoy, if you are considering this event in the future.

After losing a few months practice due to the move, Master Nakane got me back up to the level I needed to be for my black belt in a few short months. After earning my black belt, I continued to study with Master Nakane, and I'm glad I did. My class is small and is all adults, which has allowed me to learn a LOT in a short amount of time. (Although I think there is a children's class before the adult class.) The atmosphere of the class is a nice mixture of traditional martial arts formality and fun. Besides the class in Downers Grove, Master Nakane teaches a biweekly class in Evanston as well as a class at Northwestern. If you've ever thought about studying Tae Kwon Do, this is the place!

My kids have been leaning TaeKwonDo under Master Vinson's guidance for three years now. Not only they leaned so much in TaeKwonDo skills but also learned how to always do your best and give it all.

He is the most selfless Master and always ALWAYS thinking the best for the kids. Thank you Flying V for being such a great TaeKwonDo family. It's very sad that we are moving out of state.
