1. Farnsworth House

Landmark house designed by architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe that is open to the public.
Reviewed By Diane K - Chicago, Illinois
We took the Chicago Architect Foundation tour of the Farnsworth House. The tour included a comfortable bus ride from the CAF Tour Center on Michigan Avenue in Chicago. The CAF docent provided an overview on the bus - plus we watched Mies DVDs there and back. The house was gorgeous. Couple things to bring along: socks (required to enter the home) and bug spray.
2. The Sandwich Fair

Reviewed By spring9600 - Chicago, Illinois
This is a very large county fair with many foods available along with agricultural and craft exhibits, and a large carnival. It is probably triple the size of most county fairs. You will truly enjoy it. Something for everyone. I sure hope they rebuild the covered grandstand, that was taken down a couple years ago.

We love coming to The Brick Lounge! We always have a nice time here. It's a fun, casual environment that offers something for everyone. They have comedy show nights, live bands, host events, etc. Tickets for shows are very affordable and the prices at the bar too! There's causal dining like pizza, wings, mozzarella sticks. They also have slot machines, darts, pool table, etc. The place is pretty big and spread out, which is nice. Very unique set up. We will definitely keep coming back!

The new owners have made this theater a real showcase. (pun intended). The new reclining seats are a real treat, and the cleanliness of the entire theater and the restrooms is fantastic. The employees are friendly, and the free refills are wonderful, especially when you take the whole family or grandchildren. They have had $1 movies all summer for the kids with mascots, games, etc. before the show. They have special rates on Tuesdays, and every day for Seniors. The new theater is a real blessing for our community.
6. Richard E Klatt Memorial Field

Reviewed By chridappers07 - Elk Grove Village, Illinois
Driving into Plano, I noticed a railroad arch with the rock creek running under it and thought that would be a nice place to go. Stopped in a nearby gas station and ask what I just seen. She told me it was Klatt Field. A small field/park that has a shallow creek with a backdrop of an railroad arch. Thought I check it out and glad I did. Once in downtown Plano, take Main St east straight to it. This place is a hidden gem in Plano. The water surely is not good enough to go fishing in but the rocks that surrond the river are great to climb on and take nice scenic pics.

I was able to track down a family item purchased by Thriftique. They let me purchase the item over the phone, and saved it for me until I could arrange the shipping to another state. They communicated with me and with my shipping agent, and even arranged a fabulous deal on the price, which helped me offset the shipping price a bit.
I urge everyone in the area to shop here; they are helpful, kind, and offer incredible customer service.
