The building…read moreitself is historic, the location is ideal with lots of parking, in the middle of a nice park and right on the lake. The building is used for all sorts of things so in warmer weather there is a very popular beer garden, people playing in the park use the downstairs restrooms, I've attended (not entered in) the launch of a half marathon here.

I have been to South Shore Park many times, but recently was the first time I'd actually gone…read moreinside the Pavilion! It was for... you guessed it, a wedding! And a beautiful one at that. The pavilion makes for a great venue. Their main hall is vast (I'd imagine it can fit a solid 150/200 people), and it overlooks the lake. It's definitely more of an old, vintage type vibe inside. The ceiling is really beautiful curved wood too. I thought the staff did a great job serving this big event - all wonderfully kind and it seemed like there weren't any hiccups. I believe Saz's is the catering partner of this venue, and they did a great job. The outdoor beer garden space was wonderful too. Tons of picnic tables, a huge bar, and lots of sunshine to soak up on the beautiful day that it was. When you're in the beer garden area, you can get an even better view of the lake anddd the city skyline. Overall I'd say this is a delightful venue for events!

We've been doing Greendale Village Days for years. This one marks their 85th Anniversary, and it…read morewas spectacular! One of the things we loved on Saturday was that they had nickel games. Nickel games!!!! This would be welcome anytime they've got a fair going on, really. The games were fun, challenging, affordable, and had so many neat toys for the kids to win. They were similar to carnival games or fair games, but at a fraction of the cost, of course. If you needed to brush up on some games for state fairs, this would be your time :D Getting the ride pass for the whole weekend was a steal because in this weather, it's easy to just go back over and over. Plenty of great food from local restaurants as well as food trucks; seriously, you can't walk away hungry, and if you do, you've missed out. The walking taco, grilled cheese, pizza, ribs, brats, Eagle Park beer selections, soft pretzels, and wine tent. It's easy to head out and find all sorts of shops to visit while you're enjoying the music and weather. The bands are great, and there's always plenty of room for dancing. The crowds come and go, so you have a good chance of snagging a decent parking spot if you make it in at the right time. Bring the family, plan on spending time relaxing and enjoying what the Village of Greendale has to offer!

Greendale.......such an odd community, and much bigger than it appears! Its approximate boundaries…read moreare 92nd street on the west, Root River Parkway where it crosses Loomis/36 on the south, 43rd street on the east and Edgerton on the north. There are teeny, tiny houses crowded together on one lane streets and then there is South Ridge Mall. That's right, South Ridge is in Greendale, NOT Greenfield! The mini-mall where Bed, Bath and Beyond is, IS in Greendale. Greenfield Fashion Center, home to Half Price Books and Jo-Ann Fabric is NOT. Most of the other Greendale neighborhoods are "normal", it's just the one around the downtown area where the houses are lined up like cans on a grocery store shelf with a narrow one lane street to access them. These homes are why Greendale is called a village. So, the village.... it's home to some cute stores, a malt shoppe, a couple of restaurants, a couple of hair salons, a middle school, a nice bakery, a library and the village hall, among other things. Tucked behind the shops on the east side of the main street, aka Broadway, is a small park. At the southern end is Greendale High School. There is even an industrial loop, but you can only access it from Loomis, near the Steakout. Speaking of the Steakout, I hear it's a pretty decent place to eat; it even has 4 Yelptastic stars! Ray and Dot's Tap is located on Grange and I've been told it's a pretty neat place to get a drink; 4 1/2 Yelpy stars! Pretty much anything else you could want is located on 76th, right in or near the mall, so take a day and explore the area. You'll like it! 28/2016

My first real job was at Kohl's food store, which is now Outpost. I worked the bakery ;) There always were lots of hair shops here. And now those have mushroomed even more. As well, of course, as the multitude of bars and restaurants. Kinnickinnic ave is the main strip and most all things access through this street. Kinnickinnic turns into 1st St then Water St -- the main gateway to downtown. South Shore beach is home of the Frolics, a summer parade and party, a lovey farmers market and areas to take strolls, have picnics or dock your boat. The neighborhood has it's challenges at times (how many don't?) but I hope this can get corrected over time. Bay View truly is a beautiful, fun, pretty, eclectic, trendy, hipster, accepting place to be. Anything you need you'll get it here.

The rooms are especially helpful on the rather busy days when the library isn't always so quiet. The children's area is great! There's always crafts to do and mini scavenger hunts that get changed about twice a month. Also seasonal reading challenges that get kids excited to read and win prizes. They also have legos, a train set, and a play grocery store. It's definitely worth a visit for any ages!

My first impression was how brightly, airy, and open it is! So much light pours in, as compared to the old location which was quite dark and confined. Having two kids, libraries are always a go-to and this one now tops the list. They have an entire kids section wrapped with rows and rows of books, a little play-stage and dress up clothes, magnetic tiles, a play kitchen, and a few small computers with educational games. There's also a whole enclosed youth room which I assume will host various events and activities-- I'll have to look into that. Oh and you can check-out Tonies here too, which is wonderful. I love how overall inviting the space is. My kids really enjoyed our first visit! Oh and there is more than enough space and books for adults too. It's a very good size library will plenty of seating, and friendly staff. Great addition to the area!
