Who doesn't love a Deal...especially for something like getting a
phone number from directory assistance -- which has always been a
total rip off.

Insider Tip of The Week

Now, make that directory assistance call from your cell (or home)
phone for nada... And, It's called Google-411.

Free Directory Assistance
So, as you find yourself strutting around the North Shore with
something like that new restaurant in mind and no access to the
internet or phone book...
Relax...no worries...here's what you do:

1.  Dial 800-GOOG-411(800-466-4411) from any phone
2.  Tell the automated voice the city, state, and business name
3.  Google-411 does the rest.
(Keep in mind, though, some phone plans do apply a charge.)

The Google 411 service has voice recognition that's amazingly 
accurate so you won't have to pay those annoying $1-plus
charges from your phone company.
  

To make North Shore life easier just program 800-466-4411 into your
cell phone now, and name it "GOOGLE 411" - there's your free directory
assistance at the touch of a finger!
 
Send me a note and let me know how this works for you.
 
And Another NorthShoreInsider.com Tip...
 
Cheap Golf! Get your golf fix - cheap!
The Glenview National 9 Golf Club, at 2800 West Lake Avenue in
Glenview, offers a flat rate of $25 for a party of up to six on
Sundays after 5 p.m.

This is a great course for those new to the game, kids, or maybe
just a couple of buddies who want to hit the links, but have no
intention of becoming the next Tiger Woods. This beautifully
maintained course is in the heart of The Glen. There are a few
restrictions, so call ahead - 847-657-1637.

And speaking of golf...

Video Of The Week

If the miniature style of golf is more to your liking, then you
simply MUST check our Par-King in Lincolnshire.  Check out the video here to
see what you'll be up against!

Taste of the North Shore

The Bent Fork in Highwood is so sweeeeet.
This newly expanded "small batch bakery" does it all from
scratch. Get a free cookie with your order when you mention
NorthShoreInsider.com.  Don't forget to try the Intense
Brownies, English Toffee, or Butter Cream Cupcakes - they rock!
  

Are you REALLY serious about changing your body - and not in the
crash and burn way - as part of your lifestyle?

Call this firecracker - Certified Fitness Trainer, Julie Audino
ASAP at JUST BE FIT, located at 420 Lake Cook Road in Deerfield.
All new Clients get 20% off their first training session - that's $25
off and well worth it! Just mention NorthShoreInsider.com and Julie
will show you how to get the results you want in your session and
more importantly, out of the session.

Looking For Things To Do?

This Saturday will definitely NOT be just another Saturday Nite! 

On August 4th, take the kids to Flick & Float at the Hidden Creek
Water Park
in Highland Park.
 
This is the coolest (literally) idea - the kids go swimming and get
to watch a movie - this year's flick is Happy Feet.  
 
 
Hidden Creek Water Park Movie Night

Such a deal too!
$5.00 admission fee per person or
FREE if you have a season's pass
Time: 8:15-10:45pm

Bring your towel and flotation device too.

Love Art?

Stick around the North Shore and head over to Evanston for the
Lakeshore Arts Festival, this Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. - 6 p.m.
at Dawes Park.

It's a great festival - large enough to see some great art, but small
enough you can take in over a couple hours, then hit downtown Evanston
for lunch or dinner -- Tapas Barcelona, anyone?

Our advice? Park for FREE in the Northwestern University ramp near
Clark Street Beach, and skip waiting for the shuttle - it's just a
three block walk south to the festival.

Have a great weekend and stay cool...its going to be HOT.
