By Melissa Haak|Chicago ParentVerifiedWhen I was in junior high, we had a class whose name eludes me but involved all kinds of “shop-type” projects. We learned to draw plans and build with plastics, wood, etc. It alternated semesters with Home Economics where we learned to cook and sew. My children will not get those type of experiences until at least high school, if even then. Two Chicago dads, Thomas and Manoj, saw that gap in their kids learning too. Without shop classes kids aren't making things.
By Melissa Haak|Chicago ParentVerifiedWhen someone mentions the town Gurnee you probably think about Six Flags Great America and Gurnee Mills, not indulgent fine dining. The Chocolate Sanctuary is about to change that. Opened this past summer by longtime Gurnee residents Bill and Donna Collazo, it's about to become your go-to spot for a date night or moms night out. The Chocolate Sanctuary is more than a dessert place and it's not just for fondue, although they do both well.
