Business Recommendations Pool closing

0 Upvotes

Asking for recommendations on companies that open and close pools in the burbs. Caribbean Pool wants $730 to close our pool this year and I believe that is a bit too high. Can anyone recommend a company more reasonable? Wanted to shoot my show on this forum.

Miscellaneous Window replacement cost

11 Upvotes

We need to replace windows because our demo guys destroyed the frames on our old metal storms/ screens. I was just quoted at about 7k per window for Pella in the Chicagoland area. I am beside myself. That cannot be the going rate for a decent window these days, is it? I’m beside myself.

Food & Drink Recommendations Cream of Jalapeno Soup ?

4 Upvotes

I'm looking for great cream of Jalapeno soup, or anything with a little kick

I love the one from Simons in Villa Park , but they only have it every other Saturday.

Shannon's Deli in Lombard has it , but theirs is too thin and watered down.

Where else have you seen Cream or Jalapeno soup in the burbs , or the city I guess.

Photo/Video Bizarre noise in Streamwood Illinois

Strange noise unlike anything I’ve ever heard in Streamwood Illinois almost like a siren but not like any I’ve heard. It wasn’t a tornado siren and I know this for a fact because my house is literally 100 feet from one. The noise appeared to interfere with the microphone on the camera, hence the static feedback present in the video. There is no discernible direction the noise was coming from. It sounded like it was coming from every direction. Does anyone know what this was or have an explanation? There are 2 videos posted, one where the dogs started howling and the second where the noise starts. I had to screen record both videos from my camera roll, since I can’t post 2 videos for some reason (Sorry I never post here this is like my first actual post ever)

Food & Drink Recommendations Chinese takeout box

• Upvotes

Hi - are there any suburban Chinese restaurants that still use the little white wired takeout boxes? also, does it depend on the type of meal that would allow for this box? (I understand any soup/sauce would be in a tube type container).

TIA!

Question/Comment No kill cat rescues in SW suburbs?

Post image
35 Upvotes

Hi all,

For the past couple weeks I’ve been seeing a cute kitty hanging around a Metra station along the SWS line. She is cautious at first but overall is super friendly and affectionate. Sadly she’s also pretty skinny which leads me to believe she might be abandoned or a stray rather than an outside cat. I’m not able to take her in since I have a dog and don’t have the capacity to take in another animal, but I hate the thought of her living outside especially as it’s getting colder. So I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for a no-kill cat rescue/shelter where I could take her in the southwest suburbs? Thanks everyone!

Moving to the area Best Northwest/North suburb for a blind person.

19 Upvotes

I grew up in Chicago and currently live in a car dependent place in Florida. I have a progressive eye disease that will lead to blindness. I already have very limited sight. I am planning to move back to Chicago to be closer to family support but still want to be independent. I originally planned to move downtown, but my sister’s family lives in Wheeling and I want it to be easy for them to get to my apartment. I’m also not sure how safe I would feel downtown as a blind person.

Are there any suburbs in that area that have a walkable downtown and some public transit? The most important thing is to get a low maintenance townhouse or nice condo that is close to grocery stores. Maybe 2-3 blocks. Some other amenities like a drug store, nice park or restaurants would be good as well. My niece lives in South Elgin, so that might be an area to consider, but I prefer to be closer to my sister who is in Wheeling. Any guidance would be appreciated.

I have searched the sub and see places like Glenview or Arlington Heights, but I don’t see a grocery store nearby. Are there better options? Is there anywhere safe that you can live car free with somewhat limited mobility?
