Trash to Treasures this Weekend
05.16.12—
Have you ever heard the old saying, "One person's trash is another person's treasure"? We're going to again take that adage to a new level on the weekend of May 19th and 20th when the 49th Ward Green Corps and I sponsor another "TRASH TO TREASURE SWAP."
The Swap this year will be held in a vacant warehouse located at 1765 W. Touhy (between Clark and the Metra tracks). On Saturday, May 19th, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., drop off things you no longer want or need, but are still usable for others. Come back on Sunday, May 20th, to take home a treasure or two.
Those who drop off items on Saturday get tickets to the "Preview Pick-Up" for first dibs on others' unwanted stuff.

Four years ago when Grill Inn opened, I quickly took a fancy to its owner, Eddie Ishoo. When I met his lovely mom one day early on, I thought I was "in." I mean why was she gushing so to me about him and filling me in on his best qualities? I thought she was approving my crush! Well, of course, that illusion didn't last for long.
Turns out all mothers gush about their sons. Turns out Eddie is happily married and the loving father of 3 girls and a boy for whom he gives his all when he's not giving his 60-hour-a-week all to his other love, Grill Inn.
