The whole process was really in depth but fun and I enjoyed chatting with her too! I settled on some very cute pink Hoka Cliftons which are a massive upgrade from what I came in wearing. There wasn't any pressure to get something right then but since my chosen color was in stock in my size, I walked out wearing my purchase! Yes, these shoes are expensive but so far they are worth every penny. I will be back for sure when I need my next pair of sneakers.

In the email he assured me that he'd make sure to fix the issues I had expressed in my previous review. He also listed for me all of the prices of the hats there, most of which were under the price or just the same as hats at lids. The hats that were pricier were hats with custom brims. I was glad for the clarification and reassurance. I went in a day later and to my surprised the issues I'd mentioned in my previous review were gone, no more crappy display shoes and odor thank you! And the first thing that I saw when I walked in was the owner Robert hard at work and fixing up the displays on the floor himself. This let me know how dedicated he is to his business and how sincere and serious he is about custom satisfaction. After speaking with him in person he convinced me to come by the store again. I came back and bought a very nice hat. Thank goodness for good owners like Robert. I'm definitely a fan and will be back.

I missed last years event but was able to attend this year. I arrived a little early so I could get a nice standing spot up front. There were so many people from children to adults waiting on Mr. Claus himself to arrive my Helicopter. There were activities for the kids to enjoy. There was a free hot chocolate stand set up. Face painting, and free activities for kids. If you spent $25 or more purchase from any merchant store at Winston Plaza. You were able to get a free photo with Santa. The kickoff started at noon and Mr. & Mrs. Claus landed safely and in fashion. This was a epic experience for the family.

Winston plaza is located in Melrose Park and has its own street name (1254 Winston Plaza, 60160). http://winston-plaza.com/home Yesterday, there was an outdoor play area and there was a Christmas tree still up. My daughter passed on the play area because there's still snow on it. I felt she was too grown to play on it anyway. Even if she wanted to, it would've entertained her for a few minutes. The play area, in my opinion, is for under 3 years old. Another con. Free concerts and family events are thrown here. According to opentable.com , there's 39 restaurants to dine in around the area. 2 stars because I had to drive around the area to get to certain stores and face weather conditions instead of being indoors for my daughter to roam around and less risk of being sick.

Too many times while he was growing up did his uncle show up and head off to Hawks games with his dad leaving a very, very unhappy young man with his mom. Thanks Amy, you're a saint! Well B is now old enough that we can't do that anymore and now have taken him to a few games. B has also been playing hockey for a few years now and at the age of 10 is one heck of a skater. He loves to play and this weekend he actually didn't have a game so we went to the local outdoor rink to play. After a few hours my brother asked if we could stop of Gunzo's to get his skate's sharpened and to get some other items for his team. I was thrilled to go as I grew up going to this place and haven't been here in over 20 years. Walking in the place is decked out in Hawks items. They also have plenty of skates, stick and equipment. Going back here brought back all sorts of great memories of my youth. While my brother and nephew were getting some items I took the opportunity to look around at all the other items they had for sale. With Christmas and birthday's our budget was running a bit tight however I accept full responsibility for giving into my temptation to purchase an old school banner from the old Stadium. Too many great memories from that old barn and I just had to add that to our Hawks themed man cave. After all if we can't make it to all the Hawks games at least we can make the area that we watch them seem like home.
