When Grandpa wants to take the kid to his favorite When Grandpa wants to take the kid to his favorite ice cream shop, and @triplescoopdicecream is donating a portion of the next three weeks’ proceeds back to local schools ... that’s what we call a win-win. And the very definition of supporting local. Nine total schools will get 10% of their designated day’s sales donated back. Keep tabs on social media for who’s next!

Support Local Monday If you haven’t swung by the Support Local Monday If you haven’t swung by the new @neta_sushi (35 S. Prospect Ave in Park Ridge) yet, we’d definitely recommend a visit. Love what they’ve done with the interior, and the sushi was fantastic. Favorite dish for the family was probably the Angry Crab maki, consisting of soft shell crab, avocado, cucumber and spicy snow crab and topped with red tobiko #therealparkridge #eatlocal #supportlocal
