After opening back in back in September, 2007, Smart Choice Auto Sales is well on it’s way to success. They have continued to grow the past 7 months. Also of note is the fact that they have a new web address: http://www.smartchoiceusedcars.com, though http://www.smartautocredit.net will still work.
Smart Choice Auto Sales is located at 916 Rollins Road in Round Lake Heights, IL 60073 next to Richard’s Chicken.
The Frosted Mug in Alsip, IL is located at 11541 South Pulaski Road. They have been featured in Time/Life Magazine and on Food Network. This is just another example of a local business that knows what it takes to get it done.
I went to the Frosted Mug today for lunch and very delighted. I wanted something quick so I ordered the Maxwell Polish. It was cooked well and topped with sauteed onions and mustard. It is not the classic Maxwell Street Polish. I am guessing that the Polish sausage part was a Best Kosher. Nonetheless, it still hit the spot.
I plan on going back soon for the famous root beer float and beef sandwhich.

G-In Sushi and Grill in Tinley Park, IL is located on the North side of 183rd Street between Harlem Avenue and Oak Park Avenue. They serve sushi and stir fry. You can view their exact address and contact information at http://www.g-in-sushi.com/home.html
Today I ordered tempura maki, spicy ebi maki and california maki. All were just as consistent and fresh as every other time I have ordered. I am always welcomed with a smile and first name acknowledgement. It feels good to feel welcome somewhere. I have been to other restaurants in the past where there is high turnover get treated poorly. At least with a family run business, most of the employees understand that there is no substitute for great customer satisfaction when it comes to customers returning to their establishment.
Thumbs up to G-In Sushi and Grill…again.

Here’s a thought from UrbanMelt.com. Shop Local Businesses. Beat the mall rushes. Don’t fall into the trap. Don’t run the risk of buying duplicate gifts. There are plenty of little shops in the neighborhood or slightly out of the neighborhood that:
1. Sell unique products and services.
2. Have personality.
3. Are willing to help you, even during their busiest times.
4. Are conveniently located.
So, shop independent, local businesses and write about it here or at http://www.urbanmelt.com.
Thanks local business fans,

Jan and Heather run the show. Quality custom framing and art displayed by local artists. Very cool. One tidbit: Jan showed me some prints done by a 75 year old woman with a graphic design program. Very impressive. But, you have to go there to see what I’m talking about. The Arthouse is located at 12723 South Ridgeland Ave. in Palos Heights, IL 60463.

Had a business lunch today at Y.B. Hungry at 6840 West 95th Street in Oak Lawn, IL 60453. I had the chicken breast on a croissant with american cheese. It was excellent. It was cooked to perfection and very fresh. The restaurant is very hospitable and CLEAN. The one thing that stands out above the quality of food is the quality of service. One may go to a restaurant and expect to get one or the other, service or good food. Y.B. Hungry has both. Y.B. Hungry is a member of UrbanMelt.com and is UrbanMelt.com recommended.

The Egg & I in Tinley Park, IL(http://www.eggni.com) is awesome. Went there today for breakfast. The restaurant is very clean and the atmosphere is extremely pleasant. They serve up some excellent corned beef hash. It’s homemade, not from a can. Haven’t really ever had anything there that was bad. The owners and staff are very friendly. Two thumbs up, 5 stars, 10 out of 10.
