This bike shop is so much more than just bikes. You can rent bikes, electric bikes, kayaks to explore Bangs Lake or the Forest Preserve System. But they also have really great live music on the weekend when it becomes a pub.

Thursday Night Farmers Market
From late June through September, there is a farmers market on Main Street. It is not huge but has some nice vendors, food, and music. It also means the main road to the home is blocked to cars
You'll have to detour through side streets and go through the parking lot behind the white community center to get to the house between about 4pm and 7pm on Thursdays.
