Alley 64 revs up the menu, Harley-themed atmosphere
Palatine's Alley 64 touts cold beer and warm service — and delivers on both counts. And as summer revs up, both are welcome draws for this biker-themed bar on Rand Road that also boasts a strong menu to boot. It's very casual with outdoor seating available in good weather. The bar also sponsors theme nights, like car shows on Wednesday and bike night Thursday.

Recipe lacking in Metropolis revue 'Five Course Love'
Metropolis Performing Arts Centre subscribers are certainly familiar with the relationship revue. In fact, these lighthearted romps — which typically clock in at 90 minutes or less — have become the bread and butter of the Arlington Heights theater's season. The latest of these pleasantly innocuous confections is “Five Course Love,” a lukewarm effort by composer/lyricist/book writer Gregg Coffin that unfolds as a series of vignettes chronicling romantic assignations...

Easy Rawlins returns in ‘Little Green’
From the moment he first appeared in "Devil in a Blue Dress" in 1990, Easy Rawlins was an instant favorite. So the disappointment was palpable when the black private detective drove his car off a cliff at the conclusion of "Blonde Faith," the eleventh novel in the series. But now Easy is back in "Little Green," where we find him awakening from a two-monthlong coma to discover, as usual, that people he cares about need his help.

N.Y.’s Main Beach tops annual survey
This may be hard to believe in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy, but an annual list of the best beaches in the country has a New York beach ranked No. 1. Less surprisingly, that beach is in East Hampton, the vacation playground for the rich and famous. In an announcement that coincides annually with the unofficial start of summer, coastal expert Stephen P. Leatherman on Friday released the 23rd version of his Top 10 Beach List, placing Main Beach in East Hampton at the top.
3-D forest tale a kid-friendly animated action fantasy
The 3-D action fantasy "Epic" gains major bump-ups from witty visuals and pithy jokes (a bit about a fruitfly's life-span is a classic), Danny Elfman's superbly wrought score — buttressing the action with aural thrills and celestial spirituality — and from Christoph Waltz's unnerving vocal hissings as Mandrake, the Lord Voldemort of this story, all about an enchanted forest under...

Fox reality show spotlights Downers Grove business
This time "you're fired" is more than a Donald Trump catchphrase. Fox is turning the firing of real people from real jobs into entertainment. And they start it off in Downers Grove. “Does Someone Have to Go?” airs at 7 p.m. Thursday. On the show, cameras go into small businesses and employees are compelled to rat out underperforming colleagues. At the end, they choose one co-worker to...

DuPage reconsidering Islamic prayer center plan
A proposal to convert a house into a mosque is back before DuPage County's zoning board of appeals after a federal judge ordered that the county take another look at the project. “The decision to reject ICWS didn't comply with the law,” said Mark Daniel, the attorney representing the center. “They (county officials) have a chance to fix it.”
