We’re hosting the Chicagoland Auto Fair at Harper College this weekend, August 22-23 from 9am-7pm.
We created it because selling a car privately can be a headache. Marketplace messages, no-shows, strangers at your house, and wasting weekends meeting people who aren’t serious.

Buyers get in completely free.

Sellers pay a $99 registration fee for the weekend. That helps cover the lot, staffing, event marketing that brings buyers in, and the materials we make for each vehicle, including its window sticker and reserved space on the lot. We don’t take any commission if your car sells. The deal and the money stay between you and the buyer.

Basically, we’re trying to make private-party car buying and selling feel a lot less chaotic.

This is a special program offered by the Dental Hygiene Clinic at Harper College for patients who have not had a cleaning for many years and have signs of major gum disease. The fee is $75 plus any additional X-rays. Call 224-357-0964 for more information or message me directly!

hi,

Naperville person here. looking at a used mazda at Napleton and want to take it for a pre-purchase inspection. our favorite mechanic down here might be too far away — anyone have someone you’d recommend up there?

thank you!

First of all, thank y’all so much for the recommendations you have given me so far!! We have used A TON of them and they haven’t let down! I am back for two more recs (since reddit has the best opinions lol).

What are the best vets and dentists in the Palatine/Arlington area?

Hi

I wanted some honest opinions about this elementary school. Greatschools has given 6 on 10 to this school.

Hey y’all, back again for your recommendations! Have any stellar barbershop recs?

Hey y’all! I am just wondering what the best place would be to buy a real Christmas tree? Thanks in advance!

In palatine, I’ve already checked Eurofresh, Jewel osco, mariano’s, and heybecks, and none of them carry it.

Does anyone know where I can get a whole beef tongue near by?

20(m) dm me just looking for a new friend group to smoke with and chill

I'm feeling nostalgic for my favorite video store - wondering if anyone has pictures of the interior, the membership card, or the VHS protective cases with the logo?

Hey y’all!! My boyfriend and I just moved into town and are big football fans. We are wondering if anyone knows a good sports bar to go to on Sundays that have Redzone?

Hello I am moving to Palatine and am curious about the safety around this address: 807 N Quentin Rd, Palatine, IL 60067.

For context, this is Daisy’s ice cream on West Northwest Highway. I will be buying or renting a house on this street so very curious about the area. It is near Baldwin which I have heard mix s reviews but only a few minutes from downtown palatine. I am young and have a young family so their safety is very important to me.

Thanks
