Wagering on the Races at Arlington

Fuego Mexican Grill: Great Mexican and authentic decor
DSwede Says: The restaurant has authentic decor, with stucco walls, themed paintings, posters and music. There are booth tables as well as taller bar tables.This is only one of two "Fuego" restaurants in the Chicago area. They do not spread their efforts too thin, thereby making these...
Dabs Says: We've eaten at La Tasca twice with friends, the food is very good but it's a long trip for us since we have lots of other Spanish options closer to where we live. But it's a good option should you be out in Arlington Heights at the racetrack or on your way from...

kaloz Says: Arlington Heights is so picturesque, it should be enjoyed at a slower pace. Get out of your car and walk or ride a bike. This picture shows a parking hut for bicycles when you want to leave your wheels and use your feet.

deecat Says: Click the photo for a better lookWhen my sister Ronda came to visit me a few years ago, we took her to Arlington International Race Track. Her husband used to own a race horse, and so she wanted to buy him something at the gift shop. It was the first time that I had been...
Downtown Mall: Nice setting for shopping
kaloz Says: This is what a shopping center can look like, not the ugly strip malls that skirt American roadsides. There are many shops, and a movie theatre. Other cities should use this as an example for planned shopping. Get flowers for your loved one while she shops for a new outfit...

deecat Says: As much as I love to go to the races, I always harbor a fear in my mind of a tragedy happening. This is because one July 4th Allan, his sister, brother-in-law, and I went to Arlington International Race Track for a fun day.We were having such a day when suddenly, it became a...
Airport Security -- What a Joke!!
kaloz Says: After going through airport security screening. Where they will take away cuticle scissors, the airlines issued metal forks with the food service (ha!). I bet mom could do some damage with this fork. I kid you not.
Helpfulness
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: For the fall weather, pack warm clothes and foul weather gear
Photo Equipment: Long lenses are needed to catch the action, even if it distorts the depth. Portrait lenses are fine in the paddock, and wide angle for the vistas.
Miscellaneous: If you are in for the races, bring your ticket, Daily Racing Form, Binoculars, money, and cigars!!

New Arlington Park International Race Track
deecat Says: Arlington Park International Race Track was completed in 1927; then why does it look brand new? Well, in 1985, the beautiful race track and club house burned to the ground!But let's go back a minute. In 1927 H.D. Brown from California decided to open a race track in...
