A friend of mine noticed my earlier post regarding the fundraiser for District 99 and asked me to pass this one along as well. When Saran’s aunt was getting ready to walk down the isle she had a brain aneurysm and died. Now Saran was diagnosed with a benign tumor and had successful surgery in July but the medical bills are piling up. So if you or someone you know is interested in helping this worthy cause please pass on the information. It’s a good life.

Perhaps when you picture Yorkville, iL you don't think of sushi, but after visiting Sushi Bay in the strip mall on the corner of Rt. 47 and Route 34 (Ogden) earler this year Yorkville and Sushi are no longer that far apart.

With its great location minutes from down town Yorkville and centrally located from both the older sections of town and the newer subdivisions such as Grande Reserve, for sushi lovers that discover this place its definitely a find. I have visited the local Panera Bread many tims before and really had not paid attention to this other restaurant but I am glad that some close friends asked me to meet them there and now I don't have to travel to Naperville or Batavia for sushi!

Not as large as its Naperville location, the food is just as good or even better. They were doing a brisk carry-out business while we were eating so many have discovered this great spot.

Make sure that when you are in the Yorkville/Oswego/Sugar Grove area you make a stop at this great spot!
