I was pretty rude the other day. I talked all about ZED451’s Rooftop Wrap Party that follows the BMO Harris Bank Magnificent Lights Festival, but I kind of left you hanging with details about the actual festival. Allow me to right this wrong by sharing some of the highlights of this year’s festival, which takes […]

Before I get into this new store and what they’re doing, let me just explain how happy I am that I finally found out the story behind the misplaced apostrophe in Lands’ End. Apparently the mistake was on the very first sign, they didn’t have the money at the time to change it so they […]

One of the best things about Standard Market though is its connection to two very good restaurants, Standard Market Grill and Bakersfield Restaurant. All of the fresh meat, produce, veggies and […]
