What to write about
- Corrections. A wrong hour, a moved business, a price that changed, a date that's off — tell us which page and what changed. Corrections are checked against the source and the page is updated; this is how the guides stay accurate.
- Event tips. A church trunk-or-treat, a school craft fair, a park district program we missed — send the date, place, and a link if you have one. Public events in Bartlett, Streamwood, and South Elgin go into the daily-refreshed events calendars.
- Business updates. Own or manage a listed business? Send openings, closings, moves, and new phone numbers so your listing stays right. Listing updates are always free — see "For local businesses" below.
- Guide ideas. A question Bartlett residents keep asking — about bills, permits, schools, commutes, or where to find something — is exactly what the blog and explainers are for. Suggest it.
Events email & lunch-deal tips
Two things readers often write in about have their own front doors. To get the free weekly events email — one message every Thursday morning with the weekend's events in Bartlett, South Elgin, and Streamwood — subscribe on the Bartlett events page; it's double opt-in and one click to unsubscribe. And if you've spotted a lunch special under $10, the Lunch Under $10 guide has a tip form at the bottom — every reader tip is checked against the restaurant's published menu before it's added.
For local businesses
Listings on this site are researched and written by the guide — businesses can't pay for a listing, a better position, or a kinder write-up, and that won't change. What you can do, free, any time: report a wrong detail, tell us about an opening, closing, or move, or flag an event you're hosting. Full details are in the advertising disclosure. Quote-request forms on the service guides come straight to the site operator, who responds personally — no lead marketplace is involved.
Good to know
This is an independent local guide, not the Village of Bartlett or the Bartlett Park District. For village services, permits, or park programs, contact those offices directly.
