Wednesdays on the Green is back! My plans are made for the next several Wednesday evenings.
In its 12th year, Wednesdays on the Green is presented by Skokie Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Skokie Public Library. Every Wednesday evening, musical acts perform a free concert at Village Green, the courtyard adjacent to the library.
Last week, Serendipity took the stage. A five-member band, Serendipity played an energetic 90-minute set of cover songs. The performance included a mini-tribute to Journey and another to disco music, complete with a costume change (sparkly headbands). The popular songs were mixed with fun banter. With four women up front and a male drummer keeping the beat, Serendipity has a unique look.
Their vocals are strong and the music is tight. They seem to really have fun on stage, which makes it more fun for the audience. Having seen Serendipity several times, I always leave in a great mood.
Later in August, Mellencougar appears. A fantastic John Mellencamp tribute band, Mellencougar also performs songs by Tom Petty, The Knack, Joe Cocker and more. Up next, though, is a Skokie Idol Winners concert.
Located a block from my home, Wednesdays on the Green is a great place for a perfectly relaxing and entertaining evening. If I ever get really lazy, I can also listen to the music from the comfort of my balcony.

May 23, 2025Relax, Rejuvenate and Heal at StolenTime
At the namesake luxury, 5-star all-inclusive resort in Saint Lucia, the concept of “stolen time” used to be reserved for couples escaping to canoodle, reconnect and perhaps rekindle in sumptuous accommodations during a romantic getaway on the lush Caribbean island. But when StolenTime by Rendezvous rebranded in late 2022 to welcome all adult guests and focus more on wellness, the philosophy expanded to encompass self-reflection, personal growth and enrichment. After all, time is our most precious commodity, one that’s finite and too quickly slips through our grasp; we need to find those moments that matter and make them count.
