Around the Town–Nov / Dec 2009

Posted by on November 20, 2009

Sincere wishes for a Happy holiday season from Nelson’s Today! Let’s reflect on the many good things we enjoyed this year and take comfort that even better moments are coming soon.

Remember to support your hometown merchants–the ones who bring you holiday parades, participate in local events, pay taxes to maintain central business districts, offer you unique products and promote personalized service.

Extend a greeting to the ambitious entrepreneurs who are launching new businesses in this uncertain economy. The new Kids Town Play and Party in Wheaton will tickle your tots with educational entertainment. (More on pg. 33). Cold Noses in Glen Ellyn, with three staff “Pet Stylists,” will pamper your pooches and keep them healthy with a variety of dog food in stock. (See pg. 36). Teas & Toes in Glen Ellyn combines the relaxed ambience and exotic teahouse brews with the relaxation of a foot sanctuary. (Details are on Pg. 11). To take your party on the road–or to the party–call Spare Wheels in St. Charles, transportation for any number. (See Pg. 35 for a big discount). Stop by the new Papa Johns Pizza restaurant in Wheaton, tucked into a new location on South President St. (See pg. 42 for three great coupons).

Congratulations to the readers who were picked in this month’s drawing. They include Julie Blackwell, Schaumburg; Claude Shultes, Lisle; Robin Ryder, Jack Feeney and Susan McGuan, Wheaton.
