Glad to hear that you had a good experience with them! I like to recommend them to anyone who needs a mover in Chicago; they have done a good job for me multiple times.

I have the Chiasso screen- got it last year at the warehouse sale for 50% off. It has worked out well for us.

Last I checked, yes. It is more than just a kiosk though.

By the way, I have seen some Fa products for sale in the Walgreens near Western and Irving Park. (The influence of German clientele in that area I guess.)

Very nice! Your kitchen table looks almost exactly like mine. Is the top made of oak?

If you want to have your turntable fixed instead of buying a new one, this place does a good job. Or you can pick up used stereo equipment too-

Chicago, IL

Highly recommended.

I had one lamp rewired here. It was inexpensive and they were very nice. I had to leave the lamp there and pick it up a few days later.

I bought two lampshades and had some rewiring done here,
it wasn't cheap but they are also very nice. They helped me choose the lampshades and a finial. They did it while I waited.

What about Seventh Generation products? The laundry detergent works great.

For gorgeous patterned papers go to Aiko's at 3347 N. Clark.
You can get a preview of some of what they have from the website, but do go in person for a one of a kind experience-

I wouldn't move in. Sounds like the very definition of bait and switch.

I used to be a Starbucks addict but last year finally kicked the habit. Now we make coffee at home, mostly from Intelligentsia beans, and are much happier for it!

I bought the Candelas maybe 4 months ago. The day after I brought them home there was a big storm and our power went out for a few hours. It was great to have the Candelas! We use them instead of or in addition to tealights and really like them.

Joey's is good. I moved two blocks last fall and they did a good
job with my things.

"Carbonation (the addition of carbon dioxide gas to beverages) does not appear to have any effect on bone health. This is not surprising, since the body produces large amounts of carbon dioxide and is very efficient at releasing it in expired air. The amount of carbon dioxide in a carbonated beverage is rather minor compared to the amounts that the body produces."

Depends what kind of building you live in, and take your recycling to a drop-off place if you can, but there is the city's blue bag program:

I am very sad that Craigslist has blocked Listpic. I really hope they work something out to bring it back (using Craigslist, not that other lame site with hardly any ads).


Listpic Blocked !?
