Support this LOCAL FAMILY OWNED restaurant!

The former El Paso is now the NEW El Charro de Mex-Villa. New Signage will arrive soon.

Most importantly for many is that they are now serving alcohol so you can enjoy one of many flavored Margaritas or your favorite cerveza.

Also, when the calendar came out many people did not know where this restaurant was (West of the tracks on Grand Ave in Lake Villa) because of the old El Paso signage and when they did try it they found it did not serve alcohol. Again they now do offer it!

So, grab your coupon from the calendar! Like all coupons they are good all year no matter the month in which they appear.

Or, use this online coupon on your next dine in or takeout order...and don't forget to mention that you saw them in the Town Planner Calendar.

Ye Olde Corner Tap We are taking you back in time to the prohibition era one sip at a time in our historical tavern!

Although we typically think about calendars as dealing with days, weeks, months and years today we dig even deeper into minutes and especially One Hour - or lack there of.

If you have a funny story about gaining or loosing an hour share it in the comments. Anything like (arriving somewhere early in the Fall or late in the Spring.) What is the longest you have gone not remembering that the time had changed?

SPRING FORWARD! Daylight saving time (DST), also known as daylight time (in the United States and Canada), and summer time (in the United Kingdom, European Union, and some others), is the practice of advancing clocks
