Can you believe September is here? Summer is officially winding down, with just a few weeks left, and we're looking ahead to everything the fall season will bring to Chicago's North Shore. Soon enough, we'll be filling our calendars with trips to the pumpkin patch, apple orchard, fall festivals and more, so why not start now?
