The new fast-food restaurant features a contemporary interior design with a traditional exterior.
It didn't take long for a crowd to gather Tuesday morning inside the new Wendy's restaurant on Harlem Avenue. By noon, a lunch rush had already descended on the fast-food restaurant during its first full day open to the public. Some diners who sat down for lunch were glad to see the national chain come to town. The location features a more contemporary design inside with an exterior similar to other traditional locations. "This is upgraded," said Duaa Huseen, 14, of Tinley Park. "I like it." Wendy's ranks among her favorite fast-food joints and was excited to see the new spot, which features a flat-screen television, touch-screen soda dispensers and modern decor.

Al's sets up shop in Palos Height's Westgate Commons, purchasing Primo's Palos Pizza and bringing 50 years of famous pizza to the area.

Domenick and Wendy LoCascio recently purchased Primo's Palos Pizza in the Westgate Valley Commons, bringing Domenick's grandfather's restaurant to the south suburbs. Al's Pizzeria has been operating in Cicero for close to 50 years, and is a local favorite when it comes to pizza. The husband and wife team hope the pizza parlor's historical success will repeat in Palos Heights, even in a location that might seem a little cursed. “We're are the third pizza place in this location,” Domenick said. “But we are hoping to be the last.” Domenick says that all the recipes are “grandma's” and that he has been …
