Don't hibernate this winter - there's plenty to do in your neighborhood.
It’s easy to give up on those New Year’s resolutions of getting fit, being active or just getting outside on those cold, flurry days. Spending the day at home curled up with hot cocoa may seem more appealing than stepping a foot out the door, but Oak Creek offers plenty of activites to partake in during the winter. Here are ten things you can over the next few months: 1) Flip through the Acorn 2) Make some tracks 3) Lace a skate 4) Grab a sled 5) Cast a line 6) Become a Mad Scientist 7) Hit the lanes 8) Catch a flick 9) Get crafty 10) Ride a chair lift

Oak Creek may not be known for its nightlife, but residents can still ring in 2011 in their hometown.
Let's face it: Party-goers don't exactly descend on Oak Creek, even for festive holidays like July 4, St. Patrick's Day or, where we presently are on the calendar, New Year's Eve. But that doesn't mean the city is completely devoid of options, either. Here are a few establishments you and your designated driver could visit to celebrate the holiday: Norine's on Oakwood, 823 W.

Jazzbro's Sports Zone, 8510 S. Chicago Road: Jazzbro's will be open as usual but traditionally attracts a good crowd, with drink specials and a countdown at midnight. Classic Lanes, 7501 S. Howell …
