Please recommend (or warn me against) a piano mover in the city of Chicago. I need to move my sister's baby grand piano about two miles from her townhouse (Bucktownish) to my first floor condo (Boys' Town). We pretty much can't ask our friends to do this for beer and brats.

Do you belong to a CSA that has deliveries/pick-up locations in Chicago? In Lakeview, specifically? Which do you recommend? Which would you avoid? [more inside]

Alterations/Tailor in Chicago. Anyone have a personal recommendation? The drycleaner in my building does it, but I want to know if anyone can recommend a tailor personally. It's a dress (made of a recycled polyester with a water repellent finish) which needs some refitting through the bodice. Doesn't have to be a commercial tailor, either. If you know a good seamstress who is willing to do piecework, that's great. I just want someone I trust picking apart & resewing my dress.
