Tell Us What You Love About Grayslake

Patch is working on a project to welcome summer in Grayslake, and we want you to be a part of it.

We'll be putting together a series of stories we're calling the Patch Passport to Grayslake to help readers become tourists in their own town.

As we work, we'd love your input! We'll be featuring local hot spots for shopping and dining, fun kid-friendly places and historically important landmarks. We'll capture them through stories, photos and videos.

Here are some of the things we are starting with, but this is just the beginning. You know your town best. If you know of something cool in Grayslake that isn't on this list, tell us.

So what do you love most about Grayslake?

Tell us:

• Where are the most kid-friendly places in Grayslake?
• Where can you check out a piece of Grayslake history?
• Where is your favorite store in town for interesting items?
• Where do you go when you want to get away and be pampered for a while? Do you have a favorite spa or local watering hole?
• What is your favorite restaurant? Where do you go for something a little unusual, the tastiest local international cuisine?
• What is a "hidden gem" in Grayslake, a place everyone should know about but not many do?

Share it with us, and we'll share it with our readers.

Through the Patch Passport to Grayslake, we will profile all sorts of local places and spaces, showing you how to be a tourist in your own town.
