Six Cornucopia and Svengoolie at Six Corners on Oct. 9
2010-10-03

The sidewalks of Six Corners will overflow with fun on Oct. 9 with the fifth annual Six Cornucopia, a festival featuring a treasure hunt, sidewalk bazaar and a Svengoolie appearance at the Portage Theater.

Area businesses will also be offering promotional items and coupons to everyone who visits them on Saturday, Oct. 9, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Those who visit enough stores can enter the drawing for a flat-screen TV.

By visiting local businesses, fest-goers can also win a ticket to the Svengoolie appearance and movie at the Portage, 4050 N. Milwaukee Ave. Svengoolie will arrive at 7 p.m. and sign autographs for about an hour. After the drawing for a flat-screen TV raffle, Svengoolie will introduce the 1931 classic "Dracula" starring Bela Lugosi.

Everyone who participates in the treasure hunt will receive a stamp ticket, which will be stamped by every business that participants visit. The more businesses visited, the more prizes fest-goers will win and come closer to entering the drawing for the grand prize.

After collecting six stamps, fest-goers can enjoy a complimentary cup of coffee or pastry at Family Bistro, 4929 W. Irving Park Road. At 14 stamps, they get a free pop and fries from Jeff’s Red Hots, 3901 N. Cicero Ave. At 20 stamps, they get a free ticket for the Portage Theater's Svengoolie show. Tickets will also be available at the door for $10. When they fill up their game piece with 25 stamps, fest-goers can enter the raffle to win the flat-screen TV.

Six Cornucopia is part of the revitalization of Six Corners. The Six Corners shopping district is in Chicago at the intersections of Irving Park Road, Cicero Avenue and Milwaukee Ave. Call the Six Corners Association at (773) 685-9300 with any questions. Or go to www.sixcornerschicago.com. To buy tickets, click here.

Ysabel's Grill Review
2010-04-26

Ysabel's Grill at Six Corners has had magnificent results with their customers. Here are some of Ysabel's reviews from customers:

-For dinner we had the squid sizzler plate and the sinigang pork with the tamarind broth. Both had great flavors...things we've never encountered, were very fresh and presented well with nice size portions. We also ordered a to-go mixed pancit noodle dish for a hungry teen at home.

-The place has multiple video monitors playing karaoke songs and they bring you a microphone and the song book asking you to participate on the weekends. If you are wanting a romantic corner table that's quiet, you won't find that available if the karaoke is up and running.

-We are looking forward to heading back to try more new filipino dishes soon. Maybe even give one of the Thai dishes a whirl too.

As you read some of the reviews, we hope that you would soon visit Ysabel's Grill for a great taste of thai and Filipino food. Ysabel's Grill location is at 4908 West Irving Park Road, Chicago, IL 60641-2619. For more info you can call at (773) 481-3781‎.

Villa Roma gets $23K grant from city
2008-06-20

When you as a local business or property owner wants to do work on your building, one of your first phone calls should be to the city’s building improvement program.

That’s what Villa Roma did and they ended up with 75% of their costs being paid for by the city. With a few hours spent doing some paperwork, Villa Roma replaced its windows and doors and installed a new awning and sign. They also did some tuckpointing and  interior work to build an office. And the city paid for $23,000 of it through the Small Business Improvement Fund.

Access to the Small Business Improvement Fund is one of the benefits of doing business and owning property at Six Corners. Not many areas of the city run the program.

The Six Corners Association has helped several local businesses fill out the paperwork. Las Tablas, 4920 W. Irving Park Road, used the program after a fire damaged its kitchen. Artemio’s Restaurant, 4918 W. Irving Park Road, is using the program to repair a leaky roof and plans to replace its awning. Also, newly opened B&B Chair Covers, 4020 N. Milwaukee Ave., will use the grant to have the city pay for its storefront sign.

For applications forms and more information, call the Six Corners Association at (773) 685-9300.
