Love the local coffee shop and art exhibitions in this beautifully renovated corner (of course) shop near the train station in classic downtown Lombard. If you like sweet coffee, get a mocha - amazing!

Classic 1950's DQ location with walk-up service. Take a 15 minute stroll from the house in warmer weather and get some yummy treats. Peanut Buster Parfait, anyone? Also try the "only in Lombard" LILAC dipped cones. Enjoy!

Not a sit-down cafe type of place. Just walk in and get the goodies! Seriously the best danish ever. Highly recommend anything in the donut/danish family. Small, non-chain bakery. Cute frosted cookies for the kids. Eclairs & mini eclairs also very yummy.

The Illinois Prairie Path system passes right by our house - just one block over to Vance St and you'll find a trail access point. This path is simply awesome for walking, running, and biking. Walk a couple miles, or cycle 50+! You'll find lovely small towns along the way, or connect to the Great Western Trail as well. Terrific starting point to explore the woodsy western suburbs and open spaces.

The best sightseeing is in downtown Chicago. Hop on the train and see it all. This point marks the (formerly Sears) Willis Tower, an iconic skyscraper with amazing views.
