When I asked my husband what was the first word that came to mind when he heard “North Hills” his reply was “expensive”. True, North Hills has its share of boutiques and upscale dining that I would classify as special occasion kind of places, at least as far as the budget goes.

Telecommuting and working from home are mostly great. Except on the days when your Internet connection is mysteriously slow, installers are busy putting kitchen cabinets in or, say, you run …

Sunday nights starting at 10pm is service industry nights at Fox and Hound. I’m told they give away “beer related” prizes at midnight and all appetizers are half price. Drink specials are $3 magic hat pints and $5 monster bombs. Bartenders and servers are a lot of fun and dress up once a month.
