Evilena’s Red Dresser upscale consignment shop at 59 W. Bankview Drive in Frankfort recently added a second location across LaGrange Road in the Frankfort Town Center shopping center.

The second location was added to accommodate the store’s growing furniture collection and will be open through at least October.

The second location opened last month and has the same hours as the main store from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday.

For information, call 815-464-4426 or visit Evilena's.

Baby’s Cheesesteak delivers

Baby’s Cheesesteak closed its Orland Park location near 159^th Street and LaGrange Road a couple of weeks ago, but fans were told they wouldn’t miss out on the eatery’s fare while the owner works on finding a new location.

It seems the business is trying to keep its customers happy by offering delivery to Orland Park, Orland Hills and Tinley Park.

Customers can order at 708-349-9800 or online at www.BabysCheesesteak.com for delivery from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

If you prefer your food served in a building, you can always go to Baby’s location at 4019 W. 167^th St. in Country Club Hills.
