Eeeep! Outdoor ice skating in Evanston
Brrrrr!!!!! The problem with ice and snow is that it has to be cold outside! But a lot of people (other than me) enjoy ice skating outside. If you are one of these people, then know that there are rumors of a free outdoor ice skating at Lagoon Dawes Park in Evanston. (This has been reported in the Suntimes and on CenterStage.)
Once you are done skating, you are near several restaurants and coffee shops where you can warm up. (My favorite is The Italian Coffee Bar at Grove and Sherman Ave.)
