Help your house recover now that the winter weather is done (hopefully!) Link in comments has a great home maintenance checklist for spring...

Big fan of this, not just because of my occasional heavy footed (however safe and cautious) driving, but statistics show driving slow in the left lane increases road rage incidents and accidents due to aggressive passing on the right. Drive safe and don't get a ticket!

Illinois State Police to ticket drivers who linger in the left lane State law for 15 years has designated interstate left lanes primarily as passing lanes, but Illinois State Police said troopers this year will use unmarked vehicles to aggressively try to catch those lingering in the left lane and hand out $120 tickets.

Happy to be a part of it!

Speaking of shopping local (we know many of you were)...

Did you know:
- we have been operating in Park Ridge since 1982 (and serving the area since 1953)?
- we are among the oldest (if not the oldest) continuously operating independent insurance agencies in town?
- that over 2/3 of our 12 person staff was born in or lives in Park Ridge?
- that we are active members of the Park Ridge Chamber of Commerce, Kiwanis Club, Lions Club, and Rotary?
- that we are among the longest tenured sponsors of Park Ridge Baseball?
- that we focus our charitable giving almost exclusively on locally-based non-profit social service agencies?
