Celebrating the magazine’s third anniversary thi Celebrating the magazine’s third anniversary this spring is hard to believe, and all our expansion in those three years — going from 32 pages to 40 and now 48 with this issue, as well as tripling our circulation and distribution reach over that time — is even more difficult to believe (but fun to think about). And we couldn’t have done it without all our loyal readers and sponsors, so we very much want to thank the support of the community and the @parkridgechamber 

Our spring issue will be out in the coming days, distributed to thousands of mailboxes and more than 100 local businesses. The cover story is a fun piece on the splendid new @patinawinebar and @shemroonkababhouse that opened recently in Uptown Park Ridge, as well as the beautiful additions/renovations at @pennyvillestation and @theharpandfiddle 

Don’t forget to check out our website, TheRealParkRidge.com where you can sign up for our e-mail newsletter, and follow us on Instagram and Facebook for updates, fun things to do and plenty of highlights from the magazine and website.
