Restaurant Review in Arlington Heights IL.
February 4, 2010
The Stick With Steve Team visits this one particular restaurant in Arlington Heights, IL on a weekly basis…sometimes twice a week. The food there is awesome! We are there so often that the waiters/waitresses know our order before we have a chance to place it. Their Malibu Chicken sandwich is to die for…It is a seasoned marinated charbroiled chicken breast with bacon, and melted jack cheese on a croissant…but don’t worry, if you don’t like the croissant they have a wheat bun that you can substitute. The sandwich also comes with fresh Harbor Potatoes and a side salad all for around $9.00
Other team members would partake in the Oatmeal Combo which features a lovely bowl of Oatmeal, choice of meat, eggs, and an English muffin. Other delicious items include the Hot Chicken Pasta Salad which includes grilled chicken strips with red and green peppers, broccoli, mushrooms and onion which are tossed with Parmesan cheese and rotini pasta …all served over lettuce and baby spinach. Taste Great!
Oh and lets not forget the soups…..I’ve personally had the Cream of Chicken & Wild Rice which is EXCELLENT!
Don’t let this restaurant in Arlington Heights pass you by…the food is awesome and the prices are very reasonable for any budget. They even provide you with an after dinner mint to freshen your TASTE BUDS!
This lovely restaurant in the Northwest Suburbs is called Egg Harbor Cafe. You can visit them on their website here!

Moving Day Often Arrives Sooner Than Expected
February 1, 2010
Moving day can run a lot more smoothly if you are prepared
When you’re buying a new house, moving day can creep up on you before you know it and staying organized can help make the entire process run more smoothly and keep stress levels to a minimum. Some things to keep in mind that will make moving easier are:
Book your moving company. Book a moving company well ahead of time and by being a client of the StickWithSteveTeam you will be able to get a FREE Moving Kit from Von Sydow’s moving company (i.e. if you use their services). Leaving this step until the last minute could leave you without a solid moving company to use.
Packing. Start packing well ahead of time, three or four weeks ahead of schedule may seem early but packing is time consuming and having everything boxed, labeled and organized will make moving easier. Start with items that you know you won’t need or can live without and by the last week have only your essentials left. Storing your boxes in an unused room or the garage will make it easy for the movers to collect and move on moving day.
Survey your new home. Know where you want to put things well before you ever move your belongings in. Take a good look at each room and know where you want your furniture to go. This will cut back on time and make everything run more smoothly for the movers.
In a nutshell, the more prepared you are to move, the easier the entire transition will be.
Call our office today for more details on how to become a client of the StickWithSteve Team as well as enjoy the great benefits of working with some of the best vendors in the Chicago Northwest Suburbs.
We also offer a Moving Truck FREE of charge if you are a client of The Stick With Steve Team. Non for Profit organizations are also able to use the Truck for Free as well.

Real Estate Market’s Ups & Downs Present Many Questions
January 28, 2010
The real estate roller coaster leaves many questions
Let’s face it, times are tough and on any given day the mood is a different one than the day before. The market’s up, then down, we’re in a recession, we’re recovering, it is hard to know what is really happening out there with so many mixed signals. Real estate is difficult to figure out, and remains relative to where you are.
Is real estate improving? Sales are up, inventory is down but foreclosures are expected to keep coming, especially with unemployment figures on the rise. To find out if real estate in your area is improving talk to a real estate agent and look at the statistics that they provide. The December real estate sales figures were down as a nation but some areas of the country saw an increase in sales.
Have we hit bottom? Parts of the country have hit bottom other parts still have a way to fall. Home prices are apparently steady in parts of the country and climbing in others. The areas where home prices will continue to fall are those hit hard by job losses, an increase in foreclosures and too much inventory.
In a nutshell, real estate is relative. It is improving in many areas and as soon as our recovery includes job growth real estate is going to improve in many more areas.

Halloween Activities, Safety Tips
October 27, 2009
Halloween Activities, Safety Tips
The Village of Arlington Heights does not establish a special date and time for “Trick or Treating” in the Village. Halloween is on Saturday, October 31, and children are advised to go for Trick or Treating during the late afternoon hours and to visit only the homes with outdoor lights on.
Halloween is a fun time of year but it is important to keep safety in mind.
Below are some tips from the Arlington Heights Police Department on how to have a safe and enjoyable Halloween.
• Younger ‘trick or treaters’ should always be accompanied by an adult. Establish neighborhood boundaries and a curfew for older family members.
• Inspect all treats before eating them.
• Costumes should be flame resistant, made of bright or reflective material that does not impede the child’s ability to walk.
• Cross a street at the corner, preferably in a marked crosswalk. Use a flashlight to increase visibility.
• Unfortunately, some interpret Halloween as a night of mischief. Parents are asked to review acceptable behavior with their children. Know the route your children are taking.
Other Halloween Activities
The annual Downtown Trick or Treat event will be held on Friday, October 30, from 3- 6 p.m. at participating stores in the Downtown area. Children are encouraged to dress in their costumes for the event. Children should be accompanied by an adult.
Have a Safe and Happy Halloween
