: Best. Deli. Ever! Not only did they do our sandwiches for the last 5 weekends of my campaign but the whole staff all practically lived in the deli for the whole stretch! The soups rock, especially in the fall! I'm in love! Senator Toi

: Can't. Stop. Eating. Brisket. I try, I really do, to order something new when I go in, but I am so in love with the brisket sandwich. Also, the potato knish is heavenly.

Sonnie Birch: Thick, delicious warm turkey, swiss, cole slaw, special sauce, all on the best pretzel roll ever created. It is a messy, amazing piece of heaven. Okay, now I'm hungry...

: The Smoke Daddy sandwich is OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! I love the place and appreciate their supporting local musicians with an Open Mic Night every other Thursday...so literally, Bergstein's ROCKS!!! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You :)

Patricia Ohanian Lundstrom: I really liked the way the kid's evens in the park went - very smoothly, no chaos, just a happy, happy fun place!

Betsy Morey-Jones: had the best time ever!!!

: Great pictures of a great time! You did a great job of capturing it all sir! Maybe I'm a little biased, but I love the one of my daughter Lexie and son Aidan lol

: Flossmoor Fest was fantastic, as it normally is. I am. Homewood resident now, but grew up in Flossmoor. I much prefer Flossmoor Fest now that we have young children. It's the perfect family event; great for kids of all ages! Just enough to do, without making it a circus. And best of all, it showcases the LOCAL restaurants, businesses, and organizations!

: I agree - Homewood should take notes, the last Homewood days was a pretty sad event in my opinion. Personally I think they should forget the bands that draw the wrong crowds or give tickets to Homewood residents and sell them at a very high price for non-residents. Homewood people support Homewood and the village should support and entertain them first.

: What are they raising in flossmoor now? Got to be two of the dumbest brothers in town.

: Sometimes we get teen-aged smokers, sometimes we get this...

: I think it is time for a long overdue timeout for these boys. Maybe their parents also need to take a time out to learn what parenting responsibilities are. If they haven't learned by now, when will they? This is disturbing that they have such disrespect for the law. Maybe next time the cops won't be using a tazer on them but something else.
