Information on Smoke-free Restaurants |
There is nothing worse than coming home from a long evening out and
smelling like cigarette smoke. It's in your clothes, in your hair,
and not to mention the effects of second-hand smoke! Well, there is
good news. There has been an ordinance in the Chicago City Council
to make all restaurants in the city smoke-free. But, there are all
ready plenty of restaurants in the city that have decided to go smoke
free-on their own! Michelle Alegria checked them out!

Information on Working Bikes Cooperative |
The Working Bikes Cooperative on Western Avenue is a bike lover's
heaven-gears, wheels, chains, grease-this is the spot. Here they accept
donated bikes from all over the city and suburbs-in any condition
and any age! They repair them and sell them back to the public for
cheap-usually under $100. Lou Canellis donates his old Trek Mountain
bike to find out it will actually be donated with hundreds of others
to folks who really need them in Africa or Central America. In fact,
the money that Working Bikes raises from the bikes they sell locally
goes to pay for the shipments overseas!
