The iconic and delicious Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder is headed to you on Friday, July 10th!
Chicago might have its deep dish pizza, but there’s another hometown creation that’s just as hearty and delicious, and quite possibly even cheesier: the Pizza Pot Pie. Created in 1972 at Chicago Pizza &amp; Oven Grinder, located just across the street from the location of the infamous St. Valentine’s Day Massacre, this ooey-gooey masterpiece just might deliver the most legendary cheese pull in all of Chi-town!
This ingenious creation starts with scratchmade triple-raised Sicilian bread dough. It’s filled with rich homemade tomato sauce that’s slow-simmered with olive oil, fresh garlic, onions, green peppers, and whole plum tomatoes. And finally, cheese – and lots of it! Baked upside-down and served right-side-up, it’s a pizza like no other — comforting, indulgent, and uniquely Chicago.
Ordering closes by 12pm on Thursday, or when we sell out.
Your order will be available for home delivery between 2:30-6:00pm.View menu + order: <a href="https://dwell.social/44JMIyh" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://dwell.social/44JMIyh</a>

Lula B. Sherman United Methodist Church (2214 Ridge Ave., Evanston, IL 60201) is proud to announce its inaugural Welcome Weekend for the Consulate of Costa Rica, taking place July 11–12, 2026. Bringing together a coalition of faith, legal, and community partners, the two-day event is built around one unifying purpose: hospitality, dignity, and shared prosperity for immigrant and working families.
The weekend will feature three connected events: a real estate and immigration opportunity seminar on Saturday morning; a cultural worship celebration honoring Costa Rican and Garifuna heritage on Sunday; and the official ribbon-cutting and reception formally welcoming the Consulate of Costa Rica to its new home at Lula B. Sherman.
Saturday, July 11 — Real Estate &amp; Immigration Opportunity Seminar | 10:00 AM
The weekend opens with a practical, community-centered seminar co-led by The Stoic Team and Samaritan for the Common Good at 2214 Ridge Ave., Evanston. Topics will include homeownership pathways for immigrant buyers, ITIN lending, credit-building, down-payment assistance programs, immigration status and real estate rights, and fraud prevention education targeting unauthorized “notario” practices. Licensed attorneys will present all legal content. Spanish interpretation will be provided throughout. Free consultation sign-ups will be available at the close of the seminar for attendees seeking individualized guidance.
Sunday, July 12 — Cultural Worship Celebration | 11:30 AM
Sunday’s worship service will center the rich cultural heritage of Costa Rica and the Garifuna people — the Afro-Indigenous community with deep roots along Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast in the Limón region. The service will weave together music, scripture, and narrated cultural reflection, honoring the history and contributions of both communities. All are welcome at 2214 Ridge Ave., Evanston. The worship celebration represents Lula B. Sherman’s commitment to being a cultural bridge — a historically Black congregation that recognizes shared struggle and shared joy across the African diaspora.
Sunday, July 12 — Consulate Ribbon-Cutting &amp; Reception | ~1:00 PM
Immediately following worship, Lula B. Sherman will host the official ribbon-cutting ceremony marking the Consulate of Costa Rica’s new home within the church at 2214 Ridge Ave. A dignitary program will include remarks from Pastor McLeod, Consul General Peter LoPresti, and invited civic leaders representing the City of Evanston, Cook County, and the Northern Illinois Conference of The United Methodist Church. A reception featuring cultural music and Costa Rican and Caribbean refreshments will follow.

Expert-led Physical Therapy for Pain, Injuries, & Prevention

Skillz Physical Therapy

At Skillz Physical Therapy, we believe that your body deserves dedicated care, so we deliver expert-led treatment focused only on you each session. No guesswork, no waiting for the therapist to finish with two other patients. Just your body, your goals, and a clinician whose full attention is dedicated to your recovery. We deliver precision treatments backed by science, experience, and advanced recovery techniques. Our clinic combines advanced modalities with deep clinical insight. Depending on your unique case, your treatment plan may include: • Dry Needling – releases stubborn muscle knots and trigger points that traditional massage can’t reach. • Extracorporeal ShockWave Therapy – uses acoustic waves to stimulate blood flow and tissue repair, helping tendon injuries heal faster. • Cupping and Laser Therapy – support circulation and speed up cellular recovery for post-surgery or chronic pain patients. Rediscover What It Feels Like to Be You Again. Whether you’re struggling with lower back pain, knee pain, TMJ, Vertigo, shoulder &amp; neck pain, or post-surgery treatment, Skillz Physical Therapy provides a space where your healing is personal, not procedural. We understand that pain isn’t just physical; it’s emotional. It’s the frustration of missing your morning walk, cutting short your bike rides along the Skokie path, or feeling like you can’t keep up with the people and activities that make you, you. At Skillz, you are more than a slot on a crowded schedule. We focused on one goal, helping you feel like yourself again.
