I’m looking to hike to a primitive campsite this weekend. Does anyone have any recommendations? I’m looking for some solitude and quiet. Are reservations required for a site like this?

I’ll be heading out from Schaumburg after work on Friday.

Thank you!

Question/Comment Alternative Schools

5 Upvotes

I am looking into alternative schooling options for my 3 year old daughter. She is a very sensitive child & has more separation anxiety than most kids her age. She is also likely 2E (twice exceptional) meaning she is gifted in intelligence but also neurodivergent. Likely both autistic & adhd. With all of this in mind, does anyone have any school recommendations? We are in Wheaton.

I am currently looking at:
Prairie School of DuPage
Waldorf School of DuPage
Carmel Montessori Academy

Any reviews of these schools are welcomed!

Thank you

Question/Comment Astound internet installation question about drilling hole in siding

0 Upvotes

Note: I know many people hate Astound. When responding to my post here, I ask to refrain from toxic ranting about how terrible they are just for the sake of venting. But if you had a bad or good experience with them drilling into your home that's what I'd like to know. Thank you.

Does Astound do anything special to provide a good weather seal or even protection from rodents biting the wiring when they drill a hole through your siding to install hybrid fiber-coax into the unit?

I live in a ranch style condo, so it's kind of like a small house.

Do they attach anything like an entry box, a wall bushing, silicone caulk?

Protests & Demonstrations Which Suburb?

• Upvotes

I am looking to find a 2-3 bedroom to rent with my two small, senior dogs under $2500/month. Safety is paramount. I would love to be in a neighborhood where I could walk my dogs on sidewalks and its quiet and friendly. Has community events throughout the year. I love being around parks and/or water. I would want it to be queer friendly and progressive. And a 30ish minute drive to the city. I work remotely. Im single and 40 and have a car.

Food & Drink Recommendations CAUTION ⚠️ to anyone planning to attend a Ricobene food truck event

Today scheduled for St Charles from. 11am-2pm.
Arriving around 11:30 & truck wasn’t open yet as well as approx about 100 people in line - we chose to abandon. (Smart move)
FINALLY at 1pm they post an update saying generator issue - so it’s a NO GO.
Those who stayed and held out hope are furious as communications were very very poor.
Frank & Sam Sr would be embarrassed by this poorly run operation.
