School of Rock

My son has had an incredible experience with a great teacher/drummer Alex. He’s come so far I’m glad we moved him to School of Rock.

My 7 year old son loves his music lessons and band practice.  Highly recommend.

LOVE School of Rock!  My daughter has had such a wonderful experience her, both 1 on 1 lessons and the Rock 101 groups.  SOR has taken her playing to the next level.  Highly recommend.

It’s been over 3 years since our daughter joined School of Rock.  Along with voice, piano, guitar lessons, it’s been awesome to see our daughter flourish.  Her confidence and ability to socialize with people have been values added. The teachers are so talented and have the heart of gold.  In addition, I’ve been taking adult voice lessons and participate in the adult band for the past 1yr 1/2. It’s been a lot of fun getting to know fellow band members while enjoying singing. It’s such a mental therapy... a happy place!

We LOVE School of Rock Highwood. The teachers and staff go above and beyond to make sure my kids have the best experience each week. They have grown so much over the past few years and we love hearing them play with their bands. We love that they have the opportunity to learn their own instrument with amazing teachers and also work with a group each week during band practice. Highly recommend School of Rock Highwood for kids all all ages!

Ace Hardware of Skokie

My go-to for quick hardware store needs. Easy to get in and out of, kind, friendly, local staff, prices and inventory is decent. Way better experience than the big boxes.

I prefer this location due to the customer service. Ray is very knowledgeable. Even if Ace does not have it, he is able to check if I can order it now and pick it up in store.

I had to give 1 Star so I could write the review, they deserve zero star. This place isn't good anymore as was few years back. They have staff who don't know what to suggest if we ask. And if we buy something as per third suggestion, and if it doesn't work, they have very rude attitudes towards returning of the products they sold wrongfully.

I talked to three people at the store and everyone was super helpful and kind.

Walmart Supercenter

Awful employee. She refused to open this sliding door in the baby area. This lady with the blue jacket is unprofessional.

The store is always clean whenever I visit and the inventory is plentiful. Helpful staff as well. The bakery department made my girls birthday cake and everyone said it was delicious.

Checked the in store availability of the plastic cookie containers I have purchased there for around the last 10 years, and the only store showing stock was the Olive Branch store. I drove 45 minutes from my house only to find they did NOT have them in stock. If you’re going to offer an app that shows stock, it should be accurate. Do better, WalMart!

1 star is too many!!!!

Between 2:00 &2:45, my daughter is checking out. Her cashier failed to greet her! Better yet,  never spoke a word yet she managed to look like she was disgusted that my daughter even spoke to her. She took a 20lb. frozen turkey and dropped into the bag nearly breaking the turntable the bags were dispensed from. People like this make a bad name for businesses which is most likely why you guys have closed so many stores. Get it together Walmart!

For Walmart this is a most excellent store. It is in a nice area, which may be why the store is so nice. I noticed great floors organized shelves and overall friendly staff! I thought the variety was a bit more vast here than in other locations for sure. I did though notice gas was 15 cents more at this store than the Hornlake lake location. I also enjoyed the different restaurants around the store.

I had a simple issue on my curbside order at the thief river falls MN store.i ran out of time to add a product and switch my substitution. When i called to speak to someone..i was met with very polite and pleasant customer service. Even with it being so close to the holidays, i want to thank the team lead cindy for going above and beyond for a customer..she added another container of the product i purchased free of charge for the inconvenience and went out of her way to add a very nice merry christmas note as well for me..merry christmas to you and your family cindy and you made my day and my christmas with such a small act of kindness that ment so much.

I love Walmart! I enjoy going to Walmart to find items I need. It always seems if I need to get something really quick they have exactly what I need in more places than one. The staff are always friendly, The store is always clean. There are so many options to choose here, from tools, fishing, toys, baking, grilling, gardening, food, art supplies and so much more. I went to this store at 9 am. There was no line and I was so thankful, I was rushing to get my appointment on time with very specific items. Walmart did not fail me by keeping me a super long line. I would recommend this place to friends and family. Thank you!

I just moved here recently and this Walmart confuses the hell out of me.

My Walmart from my hometown wasn't a super Walmart and has half the building size and somehow still has more products than this Walmart?

Also there is a huge amount of ..."staff"? That are never wearing their "Walmart" vest or anything, which honestly makes me kind of uncomfortable. It becomes hard to know who's an employee and who is just there to talk to their friends.

Caleb the coach of customer service is amazing!! He went and above and beyond for me And saved Christmas at a mental health facility! Thank you again Caleb! You are the bestest!!!!!

The girls in the baking department were phenomenal!! They went above and beyond to make my neices birthday cake a huge surprise...wanted a design that they didn't have in the books and the girls made it even better than what they thought they could do. Thank you so much!!!

I love that my kids are learning music in a way that is fun for them and that they’re able to perform for others so quickly. Not only are they benefiting from the musical education, they’re developing the courage and poise necessary to perform on stage. Also, they love interacting with their bandmates and teachers, and they feel very much a part of a team. They are motivated to do their best learning and performing their songs so they don’t let their teammates down. They have tried other music programs before, but the School of Rock way has by far been the best.

The School of Rock program is approachable and suitable for people with a variety of different learning styles. The music selections rock, and the instructors are all active in their fields, and know how to talk to kids without talking down to them.
The performance program has been a confidence boost for both of my teens.

Excellent program with many opportunities for the students. Great instructors! My daughter has been blessed to have Jeff for her drum teacher. He is kind, knowledgeable in many instruments and has a great and patient way of teaching children. He makes learning fun!

School of Rock Germantown isn't just a corporate franchise with some vague purpose of playing music.  It's run by great people, and they have a very specific purpose: to teach your kid how to rock.  You'll get to know people like Ken (the owner), Kris (show director), Jeff (house band director), and many more who love music and are passionate about sharing it.  These people will take your child's natural talent and focus it like a laser on becoming a great musician.  A musician with talent and stage presence.

There is a long list of things that make playing live music difficult.  You have to get a band together, book gigs, find a place to practice, etc.  As an aside, try finding a parent that has the space and the patience to allow a big rock band to practice in their house.  Once you find that parent you have to find neighbors that like it as well because it is LOUD  :)   That is all taken care of by School of Rock.  All your kid has to do is play.  In a way it's just like sports, all you have to do is practice and play, the league sets up everything else.  It's perfect because all of your kids energy is directed toward music, not logistics.

Our son started off in the regular shows, then auditioned for the House Band.  He made the cut and got a tremendous amount of experience playing in front of live crowds at places like BB Kings, Club 152, Miglewood Hall, and the Hard Rock Cafe among many others.  He then went on the summer tour where he and his house band friends shredded in front of crowds all up and down the Mississippi River.  They played gigs in St. Louis, Chicago, and even the worlds largest music festival: Summer Fest in Milwaukee (headlined by bands like Tom Petty and the Red Hot Chili Peppers).  It was an AMAZING run for those kids to play so much and for such a wide variety of audiences.

I can tell you that School of Rock Germantown is a big part of my kids life, he will forever remember it as a tremendously fun period of time where learned and played, made a bunch of great friends, and also gained a deep base of experience in playing live music that he'll retain forever.

If your kid wants to play, this is an AWESOME outlet for his or her musical energy and curiosity.  Some kids will even discover an inner "rock monster".   If that's the case, hang on tight because you could be in for a wildly fun ride that will see your kid playing in front of thousands of people and touring the country this summer.  The only limit is how bad the kid wants it.  If your kid loves music and practices like a madman, then his success is guaranteed.

My kid is eighteen now and moving on to college.  They played to a packed house at Neils last night and I kid you not, when my kid came off stage last night he had ladies I've never seen hugging him.  THAT my friends, is confirmation that you've attained rock star status.

My 14yo daughter has been taking voice and keyboard lessons at School of Rock in Germantown and absolutely loves it!  She looks forward to every lesson.  Everyone from their manager, Savoya, to her teacher, Sara, and all the students she has gotten to know...it has become more like a second family.  She is growing in confidence in her abilities because of their support and encouragement.  And, as a parent, I appreciate the feedback that is emailed after each session.

My daughter is participating in her first concert in Sept.  The kids get first-hand experience at actually performing, and aren't confined to simply learning from or performing for their instructor.  We LOVE School of Rock!

Ace Hardware

I visited after hearing good things about this location for years. Sign in window says they repair window screens (confirmed). I wanted to know the size (measurements) of the shopping cart on display. The young man behind counter said the box was in the basement and measurements were not available. It took too long to be acknowledged and offered service. I'll go back for the large selection of items and window screen service. High traffic area. Street (metered) parking. Be prepared to walk.

If i could leave a -0 star review I would. The person at the front desk recommended a plumber that was according to him "reliable" but I would soon find out that was a lie. I spoke to the plumber who said his name is Jose this guy is a joke he was not prepared at all with any tools he works for 2 to 3 hours max at a time and he doesn't know what he's doing. He literally said the job was done and turns out he didn't fix a thing then, I found out that ACE Hardware recommends this guy as long as he buys the necessary tools from them. The landlord ended up providing some new pipes for him to install and turns out he "installed" one (he didn't) and he stole the rest. I later found out that he has done this same kind of half-a$$ sloppy "work" to other people.

Great hardware store.  Fast quality service. Highly recommend it.

Loved that the clerk offered to order what I needed; since it wasn't in stock.

Staff is always very nice and knows what I need. I get a lot of my keys copied here and they also carry gardening dirt. Thank you.

Had a pick up order ready came to my local Walmart only to find every curbside spot to be filled with cars waiting for their orders as well as cars with shoppers that were in the store. Called the pick up department no manager was available and the associates informed me I could wait or come back tomorrow because there is nothing they could do. I asked if I could come inside and pick up my order and was told no. Took me almost an hour to get my Christmas pants for my family gathering …

This I'd my 'go to' Walmart for most things. I found these here and if you're a pickle lover you'll love pickled asparagus!

Pretty poor morale through the store among employees. They've given up due to poor management, IMO.
Customers see poor performance & bad behavior go unaddressed, while excellent performance goes unacknowledged.
Customers don't respect that type of atmosphere.
You may have many customers, but are they loyal anymore? Nope. 👎

An odd thing just happened.  At the self check out, when i had completed my transaction, the lady overseeing that area of self checkout, barged in and rated herself 5 stars- or what else was she rating?  Had no interaction with her, but the manager will think I rated her 5 stars. If anyone cares, the attached photo shows  the terminal, with date and time. Video will be clear.  Has this ever happened to anyone else?  Kinda sleazy.

I had a great visit. The store is clean and organized even though busy.  Cashiers were busy but quick with service and very polite.  I found all items on my list.

Ace Handyman Services Chicagoland

We had Ace handyman services come out to help us with remodeling one of our bathrooms. It was one of the original builder models and needed an upgrade. The team came out worked with us on a design and timeline and completed the job on time and on budget. They were clean, quick and professional. I would highly recommend using them for any other projects I have coming up.

Very impressed with not only the services, but their professionalism. They helped install drywall, and were great at communicating the progress to us. I will be using them again for future homeowner projects I have not had the time for. Highly recommend!

Robert was punctual and did a good job.  He was there to re caulk my shower. He alerted me that there may be an issue down the road given that the mold returned so quickly after having been recaulked 8 months previously. Very happy with the service.

Disappointed in the quality of the work on our kitchen backsplash replacement project. Our project coordinator, Charles, was very helpful, but after initial “completion” of the project there were several issues with the craftsmanship and finishing of the project, and even after resolving those initial issues we continue to find small problems down the line like sloppy tile cutting, grouting, and painting.

Ace Handyman Services completed a bathroom remodel. They did a beautiful job, were reasonable priced, and had great communication throughout the project. I will definitely be using them again for future projects!

Crete Ace Hardware

Very friendly and knowledgeable employees. I appreciate the small hometown feel. I have moved here from the City..what a difference!

Very helpful staff, helped me find all the items I needed each of the three times I went there the same day 😂
The experience remains consistent, happy to say!

This Ace is the place with the helpful hardware folks. I have complete confidence that when I walk in with a question I will walk out with what I need. One thing I appreciate is the associates honesty, if they are unsure, they get someone that knows.

Great place to find what you need quick. Always a helpful hand around. Thanks

Great customer service. Everyone is friendly and helpful. Great selection.

Lakeview Ace Hardware

One of the best hardware store experiences I have ever had.
It's important to speak to professionals who know what they're doing,  and House from this Ace Hardware is that person.

He is very knowledgeable and respects your time, you can't go wrong here!

He helped me understand exactly what I should purchase for a repair, and also explained the consequences if I don't get it fixed.

All your repair solutions can be found at Ace Hardware!

I'm a big fan of Ace hardware stores. The customer service is always excellent. I popped in to get a Kohler part for the tub. They had exactly what I was looking for. Thx again Ace!

Very friendly, professional, and all around great place to shop. Wish we had more stores like this. Keep up the good work👍👍

Everyone was very nice and helpful, but I drove over there to get a lock rekey kit their own website says they HAD at the store!! Very aggravating. I'll buy it from someone else online.

Also, Smoke/Co detectors were 65.00, 5.00 more than the warehouse club. I bought garage door openers, mostly so I wouldn't waste the trip over. I don't know if they were cheaper elsewhere.

This unsuspecting storefront hides a neighborhood gem. This store has everything. EVERYTHING. And the employees are so friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. As soon as you walk in someone is ready to take you to the items you need. And if you have a tricky car key that 4 other adults can't figure out, ask for Jason and he will pop that cover off and have your battery replaced before you can even rip open your bag of Dot's Homestyle Pretzels. Definitely recommend Lakeview Ace Hardware!
