Food Scene
Yolks & Berries
505 N Kinzie AveCute little breakfast spot. Food is great!
Great mom and pop diner. It is about a ten minute drive, but they have a HUGE menu selection and serve breakfast all day. It's a local favorite, very unpretentious and budget friendly.

Parks & Nature
Great spot to snorkel and scuba dive. They offer classes to become a certified Scuba Diver, but if you are just looking for a very peaceful way to spend your afternoon I highly recommend this secret spot. There is a fee to rent equipment, I think it's well worth it! A lot of the locals don't even know it's here!!!

Nice trails, really great for families because they have a children's museum. Not a far drive at all as it's right in the middle of town.

Great place to go far walks. Relaxing trails and great spots to find small mouth bass. (I do have fishing poles in case you are interested in going out!)

Shopping
Really cute farmer's market every Saturday until noon (in the warm season). Surprisingly nice selection of locally made items and home grown fruits and veggies. There is a cheese vendor with a fantastic selection of specialty cheeses - a must stop.
