A son's annual check-up gets his mother wondering what happens between raising the first child and the last.
The other day, my son kicked me out of his doctor’s appointment. Somewhere around the age of acne explosions, smelly feet and hair product, pediatric annual check-ups include an option for a parent-free zone to promote a personal discussion with a health care professional. This is a great idea, and I think adolescents should take full advantage of this opportunity. Correction: this is a great idea, and I think other people’s kids should take full advantage of it. My kids? They have nothing to hide. As a seasoned parent when it comes to these "special" visits, I was well prepared. This was my third child, after all. I like to think of myself as a fairly liberal, tolerant and accepting person, who prides herself in keeping communication …

Sometimes you get a craving for one type of food, and it almost doesn't matter where you get it. The Feed takes a look at local restaurants that all serve a single food in common with one another. This week The Feed takes a close look at the food that's so good that, even when it's bad, it's still pretty good: pizza. Piero's Pizza Piero's is one of those rare cases in the world of pizza: the universally beloved local chain. You won't find Internet flame wars erupting over the quality of this pizza. Instead, the scenario is quite the opposite. Review sites like Yelp testify to an almost suspiciously ubiquitous love-in for the proud little pizza place that could. There's a reason for that pride, as Piero's traces it's roots back to 12th …

The North Shore establishment had its official ribbon cutting ceremony Tuesday night.
J.P. McCarthy's Pizza & Grill was officially welcomed to the area with a ribbon cutting ceremony Tuesday night hosted by the Wilmette Chamber of Commerce. The North Shore establishment had served the Winnetka community for 15 years before relocating to 4th Avenue and Linden Street in November. It was one of two new pizza places to open in Wilmette last year. Village officials, including president Chris Canning, and the Chamber's Executive Director Nada Becker were in attendance to sample J.P.'s well-known thin crust pizza and chicken wings. Chef-Owner Val Bondar and his wife, Lena, cooked and served dozens of residents, as well as other local businessowners.
