This week we're featuring one home from the Western Springs Historical Society's House Walk. Today we feature the Stevens home, which features a beautiful loggia.
The Western Springs Historical Society's House Walk was Sunday, May 19, and this week we'll be featuring one of the homes each day. The event put the spotlight on local homes that are "historic or soon-to-be historic." Local businesses helped create the tablescapes and flowers throughout the homes, which were showcased by many volunteers. Today we feature the Stevens house at 4833 Grand Ave. This home featured my favorite single feature of the house walk: a three-season loggia with blue stone flooring, a fireplace and a television that leads out to a patio area and a grill. It seems perfect to sit outside on a breezy summer night or even a rainy day. Dan and Teresa had the home built in 2009, but the Pennsylvania Granite on the exterior …

The highly rated Indian restaurant is moving around the corner to La Grange Road, where it will have a large bar area and 120 seats.
Kama Indian Bistro is already one of the highest rated La Grange restaurants and a top Indian restaurant in the Chicago area. Now it's moving around the corner to a spot on La Grange Road, making it possible to serve far more patrons and expand its food and drink menus. The restaurant is moving from its Burlington location to 9 S. La Grange Road, where Cafe 103 was once slated to open. Owner Vikram Singh said he's targeting the first week of July to open, but it could be earlier than that. The new space will have 120 seats, a big improvement on the current spot, which is a long, narrow restaurant with many two-seat tables. This will offer more seating options and the ability to host more parties, Singh said. "We got a lot of customer …

This week we're featuring one home from the Western Springs Historical Society's House Walk. Today we feature the Hamor home, which was originally built by the current owner's aunt and uncle and features a chair of President Harding's.
The Western Springs Historical Society's House Walk was Sunday, May 19, and this week we'll be featuring one of the homes each day. The event put the spotlight on local homes that are "historic or soon-to-be historic." Local businesses helped create the tablescapes and flowers throughout the homes, which were showcased by many volunteers. Today we feature the Hamor house at 5041 Woodland. This classic two-story brick home, originally built in 1955 as a ranch, was completely redesigned in 2011. Purchased in 1997 by Doug and Maureen Hamor, it's been in the family since it was built by Doug's aunt and uncle. This home was the gathering place for many family reunions when Doug was growing up. The home's entry features a light-filled two-…

Don't worry—it's just down the block, into the former spot of Mezza Mediterranean Grill in La Grange. Back Alley closed for a few days last week and re-opened before the weekend hit.
Back Alley Burger in La Grange has moved, but it's just down the block to get a bit more space for its growing fanbase. The gourmet burger joint, which was located at 13 S. La Grange Rd., closed for a few days last week to move and re-opened by the weekend. It's now in the spot formerly occupied by Mezza Mediterranean Grill before it closed, and previously Chipotle before it moved to Ogden Avenue. The reason for the move is space. If you've been inside the former Back Alley Burger location before, you know there's a group of tables toward the front and then a narrow row of booths lining the back. The new location features much more seating and options for larger groups of diners. "Thanks to our wonderful customers we have outgrown our …
The bakery has been a catering business since 2007, but the French-trained chef has always dreamed of opening her own storefront.
After years of existing as a catering business, Isn't That Sweet bakery has a store front now on La Grange Road. Isn't That Sweet opened May 16 at 21A S. La Grange Rd. and offers cupcakes, tarts, macaroons and more treats. Palos Heights resident Nicole Betourney’s dessert company was formerly exclusive to catering, but made the move to selling individual cupcakes and other treats when it opened in Now Serving last year. Write a review of Isn't That Sweet Bakery. Betourney considered that a test run for her business, and now she's finally got the brick-and-mortar space she's been seeking. "I've been looking at La Grange for a while," she said. "It's such a cute, little downtown area." She's run Isn’t That Sweet since 2007 out of a …
This week we're featuring one home from the Western Springs Historical Society's House Walk. Today we feature the Schuster home, which has a beautiful fireplace and light everywhere, including the basement.
The Western Springs Historical Society's House Walk was Sunday, May 19, and this week we'll be featuring one of the homes each day. The event put the spotlight on local homes that are "historic or soon-to-be historic." Local businesses helped create the tablescapes and flowers throughout the homes, which were showcased by many volunteers. Today we feature the Schuster house at 5104 Ellington Ave., my overall favorite along the tour because of its open and light-filled floor plan and its beautiful four-season porch. The Schusters have lived in Western Springs for a while but wanted to downsize after their son, Danny, left for college. Although this is a downsize, the open spaces, large windows and abundant storage make it a nice living …
