Venturi's Market preps homestyle meals at family style prices
Opening 12 years ago and expanding into a second storefront three years later, Venturi's Market is tucked away on the 7200 block of W. North Avenue, sandwiched by Snap Fitness and Chinese Pagoda restaurant. The café and deli originally opened with Italian flavors in mind but over the years, they've expanded to carry fresh meats and cheeses, specialty canned and packaged goods along with made-from scratch deli items of all sorts.

The group, which some witnesses described as "looking like ninjas," damaged the windows of several businesses and vehicles near the East Side intersection of Farwell and North Avenues, threw barricades into the street and set off smoke bombs.

An interesting sign of the times
The saying may be old and hackneyed, but for one East Side bank, it seems, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Scoopz is a cool treat for North Ave. custard fans
Given the recent cold, snowy weather, custard might not sound like a great idea. A trip to Scoopz, 3621 W. North Ave., proved otherwise.

McCafe: Made to Order?
I am a huge fan of specialty coffees. I'm such a fanatic that I even worked as a barista at a coffee shop in England while studying abroad. Now that I have a grown-up job, my morning ritual includes stopping by a Starbucks, Alterra or other local coffee shop for an iced coffee, mocha or some sort...
