Sweet Home, West Chicago

West Chicago is a great place to live.  There are friendly people, places to work out, a library, museums, and one of my favorites – lots of restaurants.

In downtown West Chicago, I like going to the Art Gallery to look at lots of art and take some of their classes.  I’ve taken a pottery class there and I am going to take a Christmas plate class on the morning of Frosty Fest.

Downtown West Chicago also has really great pizza at Dominicks and the waiters are awesome.  I like the owner.  He’s always funny and kind.  They also have great garlic bread while we wait.  It’s worth the wait because they have the tastiest pizza that I’ve ever had.

The West Chicago library is fantastic!  I sometimes go there when my mom works out at the Fitness Center across the street.  They have awesome books like the Hardy Boys and Super Fudge.
