And virtually NOBODY offers Beef Wellington anymore but you can get it here, always a treat for me. I've primarily eaten in the bar area which is large and nice, and has a fairly big/separate gaming space which is less busy than most places nearby since this is a higher end restaurant more than gaming bar. Service has always been professional and there is ample parking, definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

There's a lot to go through. They also carry a huge amount of used stereo equipment and Joe can answer just about any question you might have on any subject you can come up with regarding stereo equipment, speakers, accessories and jazz music too. He's there on Wednesdays and Saturdays. One caveat: the store can be quite cluttered with stacks of boxes and records and other items and sometimes they make it hard to get through aisles or inhibit your ability to shop items they have in stock. That's to both you and the shop's detriment. I brought it up to the owner once and he got short with me, so I left and haven't been back since, only because it's about an hour's drive for me. I will be back, I just won't anger the gods anymore.

This review is for the virtual library services. With the pandemic in full swing, I have been…read moredoing more virtual events this year. With most of the places I love going to being in lockdown, there is plenty of time at home to take in these events. McHenry Library partnered with John Gowing, a teacher in England for 32 years, then a London Blue Badge tour guide for 11 years, to present a virtual tour of Westminster Abbey. While most definitely an Englishman, John reside in Huntley, IL, after marrying an American and presents talks on British history, culture and London tourist attractions for local groups. The hour long presentation consisted of John speaking on the history of the Abbey, along with showing photos of the architecture and various tombstones in the Abbey. John was very engaging and had a lot of great antidotes to the tour. Having toured the Abbey three times pre-covid, this was a nice trip down memory lane and definitely easier on the feet. He has his own Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/AVeryBritishSubject/?ref=page_internal. Kudos to McHenry library for setting up this event. Tour itself went smoothly and there weren't any technical hiccups. One of my favorite parts of touring the Abbey are the different people buried there and the ten modern martyr statues above the west doorway. The lower part of the towers are 15th century and the tops of the towers were completed in 1745. There were never any statues in this space, although it was obviously intended that they should. The space was empty until 1998 when martyrs of the 20th century were added. The ten statues represent people who have died in circumstances of oppression and persecution: Kolbe from Poland, Manche Masemola from South Africa, Janani Luwum from Uganda, Grand Duchess Elizabeth of Russia, Martin Luther King Jr from the USA, Oscar Romero from El Salvador, Dietrich Bonhoeffer from Germany, Esther John from Pakistan, Lucian Tapiedi from Papua New Guinea and Wang Zhiming from China. The Archbishop of Canterbury unveiled the statues in the presence of Queen Elizabeth II in July 1998. Four different sculptors carried out the statues which are carved from French Richemont limestone. After doing this virtual tour, I decided to check out the library to see what other events they had scheduled and ended up getting an e-card. I have not been to a library in years except to possibly vote. It was easy to set up the e-card and I had instant access to their online content. They have the usual e-books and magazines, but I was very happy to see that they also have some selections from Acorn TV. You can "check out" content for 7 days before it is pulled, but can sign up again for an additional 7 days. In addition to Acorn, there is The Great Courses, IndieFlix and Qello (concerts). I have to say that thanks to seeing this event on Yelp, it has connected me to new sources of online entertainment in John and the library. I would say check it out if you are looking for something to do from the comfort of your home that is both entertaining and educational.

Guest services are very kind, and I appreciate the quiet and respectful behavior of the people staying here as well. By the time my week is up I will become an expert at making waffles, I hope. There's a trick, I just can't seem to remember it. I get to practice though! 6 -9 am every they have a functional Continental Breakfast. The hallway is a bit cold so put on a sweater when you leave the room for anything from the front desk. I'm about to head there now and ask about the laundry feature here, and where they have the ice machine. And also grab a newspaper. They have a menu for Jimano's Pizza up the hill printed on the back of their Cable Channel table tent, and those are good people. In the same mall you will find a very nice Chinese Family Restaurant. Also nearby is Brunch Cafe and Meat And Potatoes, in the other side of BP there is a taco place and another Italian place. All walking distance, just be careful pulling out onto Highway 31. It's a steep hill and you may have to wait a bit to merge. There's a reptile store just next door called Datz and I recommend you visit there. McDonald's is right beside the park path. Those are closer than anything. Plenty of local Churches and town isn't far away. I expect you to book here and enjoy your stay in McHenry County.

Luckily, this liquor store is in the same shopping area, so we weren't without adult beverages for long. They were even open on Independence Day! I was sad to find they didn't have Ace Pear Cider or even the Woodchuck variety pack. However, they did have a few different 6-pack flavors of Woodchuck, and I went with my beloved Granny Smith. I was also pleasantly surprised to find that the cooler is much larger than it appears. Enter from the middle of the back wall and you'll find some extra goodies. I picked up a 24oz PBR and was all set.
