The lawsuit against the 565,000 square foot property is one of the largest foreclosure suits in the Chicago area in recent history, according to Crain's Real Estate Daily.
A foreclosure lawsuit has been filed against Inland Real Estate Corp. for allegations that the Oakbrook-based company stopped making payments on two separate Algonquin Commons shopping center loans last summer, according to media reports. U.S. BANK N.A. filed the foreclosure suit in Kane County Circuit Court in December, seeking repayments of two loans totaling $109 million, according to the Daily Herald.

Marilynn Lopez-Vega of Elgin plans to use some of her winnings to buy toys for children in need.
An Elgin mom is putting her family first after winning a $2,500 shopping spree from Algonquin Commons this past week. Marilynn Lopez-Vega, 35, learned Monday she won the gift card through a raffle she entered while shopping during the early morning hours on Black Friday. Her first purchase was for her two young girls, Sofia, 5, and Annalys, 2.

Many area stores won't wait until Black Friday to open
Thanksgiving has become the new Black Friday when it comes to Christmas shopping. Die-hard shoppers can barely button up their pants again after the feast before they need to be out the door and in line for at their favorite stores. Some stores are even opening their doors before the turkey is carved. This year, K-Mart in Crystal Lake will be open from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day. The store will then take a break for turkey time, and open again at 8 p.m. for more shopping. Other area stores and malls will at least wait until after your family has time to give thanks for their blessings this year before they start selling. Just barely though. While it used to be that many would eat turkey and mashed potatoes, sleep it off a little…

So, it's the day after Halloween — is it too early to start thinking about holiday shopping? For some residents and businesses, the Christmas lights will be hung as soon as the Halloween decorations come down. But hardcore shoppers know when their dream season begins.

Roosevelt, who signed into law that it should fall on the fourth Thursday in November, and Pope Gregory XIII, who blessed the calendar we use by papal bull, 2012 has the longest possible …

There are loved ones that I would love to give gifts to just because I love them and and it is Christmas. But I have decided to skip gift giving and Christmas shopping this year for two sensible reasons. 1 - I am out of work and feel whatever funds I have should be wisely used for things that are vital like utilities, mortgage, food etc. 2 - I've carefuly examined that list and determined that … more ›

La Trattoria Marianos also opened at the Algonquin Commons in recent days.
A winery/microbrewery and a quaint Italian restaurant opened in recent days in Algonquin.

Cute place with mediocre ambiance. We started with one server when we arrived at 9:00 for a glass of wine and an appetizer. Then another server came by because the other one was leaving. Overall not impressed with the wine. I tried 3 different reds and settled for a blend that tasted weak for a blend. I had 2 glasses of wine over 3 hours and obviously there is a high alcohol content, so be … more ›
