Anyone have a bat house? 🦇

I got a bird house, but my backyard I feel is a prime area for a bat house. Does anyone have experience in these? Or someone I can ask? I know you need to know a certain height for the breeds we have in the area. Maybe DNR would be best? I saw Farm and Fleet is selling one, but I wanted to know everything before installing for this specific area.

Espenscheid closed to Mountain Biking?

It’s been a while since I’ve been able to Mountain Bike, so I’ve started scouting out trails. It looks like the single track at Espenscheid** **in Cherry Valley is closed to bikes. Am I tracking right? When/what happened?

As an aide: It looks like the trails in Atwood are ok (except when soggy - Hence the scouting and not biking). I’ve never ridden there, any feedback?

Aside #2: Any MTB clubs/groups in the area that can tolerate a semi-out of shape empty-nester?

Seriously, does anyone care if BeefAPoo ever opens again?

Bro, for real. They always skimped on putting whipped cream on their milkshakes, like it was an act of congress to get it on there.

Their food was mid or overpriced and small portioned. Dry ass sandwiches. It'll suck to have more closed down buildings (don't even get me started on the old hospital). But did anyone really go there anymore?

I posted that I need a meal and wouldn't go to a Christian organization. The reason for that is that I've tried many times. They are exempt from the ADA and put me in a position where I would have to hand my dog over to WCAS.

Are fireworks visible in Churchill's Grove area?

Sorry if this has been asked before, I could not find anything on it. I am somewhat newer to Churchhill's Grove area and this will be first year I am home for 4th, and was wondering if there was a good walkable spot to watch fireworks, or better to head downtown?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

FRIED BURRITOS

Okay guys I need someone to help a girl out. I’m originally from KC Missouri and there is a fast food chain there that has fried burritos (it’s called Texas Toms). The restaurant is a lot like Tom and Jerry’s so it’s not like authentic burritos at all BUT I’m craving them so hard and I desperately need to find one close by. It’s essentially a bean burrito deep fried. It looks like this! If anyone has an idea on where I can get these (maybe a gas station?) PLEASE let me know.

Fireworks

I have a two and a half year-old and a two month old our family still wants to see fireworks, but we obviously do not want to be right underneath them or close enough that the booms will blow out their hearing. What’s a good spot to see the country club or Rockford’s or Cherry Valley without being right underneath or right there? Not looking to see all three at once, just a good spot to watch from a safe distance, where things are still cool.

Thanks in advance.

4th of July fireworks

This will be my first 4th of July in Rockford. I know there’s a big parade that happens during the day, but are there any fireworks? If so, where should I go to see them?

Fireworks??

I am looking for fireworks for saturday. Usually kirkland has the best around. Anyone that enjoys a lot of colors and BIG LOUD BOOMS with chaotic finale displays....can you recommend somewhere other than kirkland for shows?

A couple of years ago I went to a show out in Mchenry somewhere, maybe lake moore or crystal lake, they shot off these BIG fireballs, no color just a legit fireball but the explosion and concussion was so loud and so forceful you could feel it in your chest from across the lake. Best show I have seen in a long time. I am looking for that kind of show....Any ideas?

MyChart question

Does Mercy Health/Javon Bae use MyChart? I recently chose a provider from there and looking to get established with a place that uses this since my previous doc from out of State used MyChart.

I might also change to someone else anyways that is a bit closer to me.
