Come see why The Food Network's Rachael Ray thinks Retro on Roscoe is so fabulous. The Roscoe Village Neighbors
is the beneficiary of Retro on Roscoe. This non-profit organization promotes the Village of Roscoe as a friendly
place for Chicagoans to live and for local businesses to flourish. It provides an open forum for discussions on
how to improve the community and seeks to continually improve safety for the people who live and work in Roscoe
Village. Proceeds from Retro on Roscoe benefit Roscoe Village Neighbors. This year, RVN is using Retro income to
fund improvements to the business district, donate to the Hamlin Park Baseball field upgrade, support our local
schools, Audubon and Jahn, by funding teaching resources and reading materials, and hosting a variety of community
events for our membership and members of the community. Sat & Sun: 12N-10p A $5(??) donation is requested at the door,
and children under 12 and senior citizens are free. One of Chicago's hottest areas is the home of this flashback
weekend of fun. Retro on Roscoe, now in its 12th season, will feature an antique car and motorcycle show, and plenty
of '70s, '80s and '90s music to entertain the crowd of over 35,000 people.
Antique and craft vendors, ethnic foods and games, fill the venue and liven up this tree-lined street for an enjoyable,
two-day festival that brings back great memories while providing an exciting venue for the entire family. The Family
Area is one of the best in the City and offers games, crafts, entertainment and lots more. This weekend will provide
an incredible experience filled with exciting opportunities for all in attendance. Do not miss Retro on Roscoe!

| The name “Backlot” pays tribute to downtown Skokie’s (then Niles Center’s) heritage as a silent picture western
back lot set between 1907 and 1915. Chicago’s Essanay Studios, the MGM of its day, frequently used Skokie because
its dirt roads, saloons and wood frame buildings resembled an old prairie town. Essanay used this area frequently
for shooting movies featuring gunfights, bank robberies, and cowboy and Indian skirmishes. In 1915, the Niles Center
Theater (now Skokie Theater) opened and residents were finally able to see the very westerns that they had watched
being filmed here. Essanay was the home of stars such as “Bronco Billy” Anderson, Ben Turpin, Wallace Beery, Gloria
Swanson — and in 1914 and 1915 — Charlie Chaplin. |

(Jazz) "'Dance Like There’s No Tomorrow,' the new record by the saxophonist John Ellis and his band Double-Wide,
is a New York-New Orleans collection of jazz: something intrinsically promising and, in this case, worth a listen.
Rhythmically it has that New Orleans duality of being full of funk and lighter than air. |
Blarney Island, Port O' Blarney,
27843 W. Grass Lake Rd (3.5M W. of 59), Antioch, 847-395-4122, http://www.blarneyisland.com
In 1992, Haley expanded to what is now the land base of operations for Blarney Island known as Port
of Blarney. The Port of Blarney is a year 'round restaurant and during the summer is an active marina, plus the
home to the Blarney Island's shuttle service. |
| Blarney Island is located in the middle of Grass Lake, one of the many lakes on the Chain-O-Lakes, in Antioch,
Illinois. However, don't worry if you don't own a boat or don't know anyone who does. Blarney Island operates a
Shuttle Service to and from The Island. Depending on the day the Shuttle Service departs from the Port of Blarney
to Blarney Island at the top of the hour. If you are at Blarney Island the shuttle normally departs to return to
the Port of Blarney at the bottom of the hour. We provide this service for nominal fee and that
fee varies depending on the day of the week. Normal shuttle hours: Mon-Wed: 12N-8p, Thu-Sat: 12N-11p, Sun:
12N-9p, |
