–AUTO REPAIR–
Kenn's Auto Repair
2701 S. Ridgeland Ave.
(708)484-2445 or (708)484-2488 fax:(708)484-2455
This is one of those recommendations that will pay off for
years down the road! (please pardon the pun) Everyone is
always looking for a local auto mechanic that they can trust
and they know will do a great repair job... Well, this is
the place! These guys are smack in the middle of town,
they have great customer service, they do quality work
without feeling like they are taking advantage of you...
and to top it off, they have loaner cars! You don't find
that very often any more. If your car is in the shop for
a couple of days, they will lend you one of their cars until
everything is taken care of. All they ask is that you fill the
car back up when you are done. This alone can save
you a bunch of money and headaches when you least
need it. Give them a try the next time you anything from
an oil change to some transmission work...
You will be glad you did for years to come.

Tuesday-Friday 11:00am-7:00pm
Saturday 12:00-5:00pm
Start by shopping locally and really thinking about the gifts you give!
Their products all come from socially responsible companies and
individuals... wouldn't you rather give your money to them, anyway?
Many of their lovely gift items are made from recycled materials,
but you can't always tell. Beautiful glassware is a wonderful thing,
but it's even more wonderful when the glass is recycled.
Jewelry that is made from repurposed stuff is just as fun and
pretty as the costume jewelry from big companies. All of their toys
are made in the USA and don't have lead-based paint or toxic inks.
A lot of our offerings are one-of-a-kind and handmade, so you know
that your gift recipient won't already have them. Our dog toys are
made from extra tough recycled plastic, but when your pup has
chewed them to pieces, you can rinse them off and recycle them again!

And if it's not there, John (the owner) will hunt it down
for you. John started the business as an on-line resource for
collectors and due to it's overwhelming success, he has
now made it a storefront business. This is a great place
to just step in and take a look around. There is something
for everyone and every price range. Everyone ranging from
the high end collector to the beginner or someone just
looking for a unique item will enjoy a look around. There's a
little bit of everything... Movies, Figurines, Posters, Magazines,
Rarities, etc. There are gift certificates available as well.
