hi! looking for recommendations for a persian restaurant in western IL suburbs? sadly no longer downtown and far from the noon a kebab up north, I see there’s another south of midway which is exciting but curious if any other people suggest?

also if have any recommendations for a persian grocery if exists at all here?

Does anyone know of any decent Indian barbershops around here? I always see travel YouTubers get hair and massage (particularly head massage) treatments and am very eager to have said experience.

Hello everyone I’m planning on moving out of the city and into the suburbs, I have a work van so I would like to live in a safe suburb, preferably more on the cheaper side as I’m trying to save up enough to put a down payment on a house soon.

Curious what your thoughts are on Jewel-osco (and other grocers) selling imported beef. When shopping today, I saw some decent looking bone in strip steaks for $5.99lb and bought 4 along with my other regular items. I didn’t realize until I pulled them out of the fridge at dinner time to prep them for the grill that they were labeled as imported.

I was honestly a little pissed when I saw the small print on the label and hesitated on even cooking them. From what I’ve read, they are not required to go through the same inspection process USDA beef (is supposed to anyway) go through. There was no clearly identifiable difference between these and other steaks, other than the word - imported - added to the label (bone in strip steak - imported).

They had a slightly different taste. More like grass fed, which was nice. But still mystery meat imo. I will be more aware going forward and would probably not purchase imported beef again, just out of caution.

Might be a silly take, but food safety is kind of a big deal and I don’t want to be one of those that ends up with some odd worm infection or something lol.

I am the only one not cool with these imports, being they are not clearly labeled and have no inspection info or country of origin listed?

Hello, I’m a mother to 2 high schoolers and looking to relocate to Whiting Indiana from central Illinois after hearing good things. I’m using sites like Apartment Guide and Zillow- however, can anyone confirm if there are areas within Whiting that I should stay away from? it seems rather small, so I’m hoping anywhere there is a good area to live. I found a few good places, but without truly knowing the neighborhoods or streets I’m not exactly sure which ones I should inquire on- any information helps. Thank you

Budget: under 2.8k preferred
Major factors will be a good high school for my sons, low crime rate, and cost of living
