HEY! YOU GOT THREE BETTER ONES?
Tell us your three favorite things for Friday night.

Three things we love about Portage Park.
1) Fantasy Costumes. One of the best costumes stores ever! They stock everything under the sun, from adult costumes to children, have an extensive makeup collection, and the rental selection is out of this world.
2) Custom Wigs. This place has the largest selection of wigs I have ever seen! Whether your going to a themed party or need a wig for medical purposes, you will definitely find what your looking for there. It's a place you must visit.
3) The Portage Theatre. Recently opened again. They are not only having select film festivals, but are also hosting live performances.
My favorite things for a Friday night?
Hmm....something classy and a bit naughty.
Something that starts the weekend off with a bang?
