The best of the best, just west of the rest. Regularly listed as a top place to live, don’t let room for growing families and good schools fool you. Wary of big box stores and mindful of diversity and inclusion, Oak Park isn’t just another suburb. This mini-city has a committed, active citizenry, great public spaces and excellent dining, shopping and culture too. And, yes, that architect's houses.
A long-time local favorite, recently reimagined.
For book lovers of any age.
Time stops in Pieritz Brothers, which manages to be magical and practical all at once. If they don't have it, they'll order it. But while they do you can peruse shelves full of art supplies, school supplies and office supplies...but also art installations, vintage goodies and a few oddities too.
