    Goode Plumbing to the rescue: Avoid the sewer backup disaster we experienced and install a flood-control system now

    By Trent Modglin I’m not entirely sure if there’s a world record for the number of times the Weather Channel app can be refreshed in a week, but I’m pretty sure my wife and I set the mark last May. Reason being, the Park Ridge sewer line backed up into our basement not once, but ...

    Q&A with Mike Goode, owner of Goode Plumbing, about the growth of his business and how to prevent basement flooding in Park Ridge

    By Trent Modglin This spring, after watching Park Ridge city sewer water back up into our house (not once, but twice) and destroy a newly renovated basement during heavy rainstorms, we decided to do our research and hire Goode Plumbing to install a flood-control system in our yard. Coming away impressed with their work, we ...

Wow, what a way to cap off the summer with the fin Wow, what a way to cap off the summer with the final Park Ridge Market after Dark @mad60068 from the @parkridgechamber 

Great food, drink, music, artisans, weather and, most importantly, great people! We may have needed a full day to recover, but it was well worth it. So glad we’ve made this a summer tradition in Park Ridge.

There’s still time to try the creative summer fo There’s still time to try the creative summer food options from @easystreetpizza on Devon Ave. in Park Ridge, not to mention a bevy of new cocktails to match the season. Hungry but maybe want to go a little lighter than usual? Their new giardiniera dip with warm kettle chips, chicken cesar wrap, fresh ground turkey burger or hot honey soppressata should do the trick.

For drinks, try the limoncello spritz, watermelon mojito, Cool as a Cucumber gin concoction, or the tropical margarita with 1800 Coconut, pineapple and lime juices, and pomegranate simple syrup. They’re as tasty as they sound, believe us.
