Okay, maybe just a little bit more…

So most of you know my main focus of business (and periodic income) as Z Factory — an advertising and design firm. But in addition to it, I also have a fledgling / burgeoning web site called Out of the Ballpark (see it here), which is intended to offer a bounty of valuable information about the Wrigleyville area for visitors and residents alike. Need help finding a place to eat that you haven’t been to a million times already? Check. Need help finding a place for family to stay that isn’t within the confines of your own home? Check. Need help saving a few bucks when you’re strolling the neighborhood with an itch to spend a few bucks? With any luck… we’ve got you covered.

Little by little, we’re gaining ground and expanding our audience. We ran a full-page ad in a special neighborhood edition (Lakeview and Lincoln Park) of the Chicago Tribune Magazine last month, and just scored some glorious ink in the Qurious Consumer section of Sunday’s paper (read it here). We’ve even been the fortunate and grateful recipients of some very valuable mentions in some very valuable blogs, GapersBlock most notable among them.

Each little effort always nets some noticeable spikes in traffic, but we are always eager for more! Please visit the site and better yet — sign up for some great discounts from our area businesses before their current offers expire (you can zip to the Valuable Discount page here!)

Many thanks everyone, and please let me know if you have any additions for us to make to the site! And by ALL means… tell all your friends.
