Arthur Miller talks about earlier 1990s, early 2000s work in Lake Forest by London architect Peregrine Bryant for the LF Bank & Trust buildings on Westminster between Western and Bank Lane, picking up on the style of Market Square, and about Stanley D. Anderson's 1920s-1930 work on Deerpath roughly between the same streets. These broke up the long buildings by compositional variety.

Cindy & Lisa Pasquesi Stopped by to chat with Skoo and Pete. They learned about the Pasquesi Family and the American Success Story that they are!

Notes:

975 North Shore Dr.

Edward Pasquesi and his wife, Marie, started the business in 1975—evolving from a small hardware store in Highland Park, Illinois into the retail business that is known today as Pasquesi Home and Gardens—which is currently located in Lake Bluff, Illinois. In 1984, they bought an existing farm and feed store in Lake Forest that became Pasquesi Home and Farm Suppliers—at a time when Lake Forest had more open lands and farms. When the garden industry started to expand, the business evolved with the customers’ changing needs. It became Pasquesi Home & Gardens with more emphasis on gardening. Another store in Barrington was opened in 1988. And, in 2006, the Lake Forest store relocated to a new and larger store in Lake Bluff, in order to give customers a better shopping experience. In 2012, a third "small scale" store was opened in downtown Lake Forest selling select plants, home and garden items. Currently, they operate one full-service store in Lake Bluff. (There are some fun historical photos on our Pinterest page.)

Mike Pasquesi joined the family business after college in 1992 as manager of the Barrington store before becoming President and General Manager of Pasquesi Home & Gardens. He sums up his philosophy, “We are always challenging ourselves and looking for ways to improve our business. We will never standstill. We are constantly learning and trying new and different things.”
