Homewood Cash Mob Rule: Feedback Friday

Thanks to our newest Facebook buddies, we're 23 "likes" higher than last week. As a person who lived through the '90s Bulls dynasty, I'm a big fan of the number 23.

Needless to say, it's been a good week. A huge thanks to all our readers, new and old.

Overheard on Facebook

Last Saturday marked a special occasion: —and it was held at here in Homewood. Aftermob specials were held at and the new on Ridge Road. If you missed out on it but want to see what a Cash Mob is like, . Here's what some of our Facebook pals were saying about it:

• Katie Soleim: "I conquered and bought. Cute stuff there!"
• Teri Kincaid Baldwin: "Must go see the scarves - i LOVE scarves!"
• Suzy Lebowitz Dritz: "Got myself a really beautiful bracelet, because who can't use a little more sparkle in their life??!"
• Jamie Lynn DiNino: "If you do Good Life - you MUST try the Grilled Chicken Pesto Panini!"
• Barb Ferrari: "We came, we mobbed, we Twisted Q'd, and we stopped at DQ while walking home - to enhance the whole mobbing in Homewood experience!"
• Eileen O'Neil Stevens: "... love Art4Soul!"

As Seen on Patch 

It's been a week since the Chicago Sun-Times debuted its new, feistier, sensationalistic tabloid style. . So far, the results show a majority disapproval. Here's what some of you had to say in the comment section:

• : "Looks more and more like The Enquirer every day! If it wasn't for the patternless crossword I would switch to the Trib."
• : "I am just hoping this is a transition for the Sun-Times. The worst was the Kim and Kayne cover story. The columnists need to be spread out more and the horoscopes need to go in the back - and yes I read them everyday for fun."
• : "I'll pass. I'm not into celebrities and I'm not into tabloids. Are they trying to score the US Weekly crowd as new subscribers? It might work. If you spend money on a mag like US Weekly...you'll spend money on darn near anything. LOL"
• : "The new "look" of the Sun-Times does not impress me. Like Anita, I immediately felt that it looked even more like a supermarket "rag." I do look forward to reading columnists Steinberg, Washington, Fountain, and Marin -- as well as Roeper and theater critic Weiss. So unfortunate that these quality writers have to appear in such a publication ..."
• : "I don't like the tabloid format ..."

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR CONTINUED READERSHIP AND SUPPORT
