Hi Ken, thanks for your comments on my HB page. Lake Forest sounds pretty terrific too, perhaps we should nominate your house next Christmas as the "new" Griswold domain! Great Harvest Bakery here just closed up :-( no idea why either | Confucius Thu Jan 26, 2006 07:42 UTC
I went to Lake Forest Park last week visiting a Chinese friend that lives there. Also, I stopped by Great Harvest Bakery and had six samples of bread thanks to your tip. Mmmm, banana chocolate chip loaf! | amystack Thu Oct 6, 2005 06:04 UTC
Thanks Ken. Just moved to North City. Saw the sign for Animal Acres Park today and was hoping for a dog park. (Alas...) Nevertheless, I appreciate the info. and have some new places to explore with the dogs on leash. | jelw Tue Oct 5, 2004 04:37 UTC
