  Round the clock restaurant is a local favorite since they first opened their doors in 1963.  They won the Times newspaper 2011 award for best family restaurant and best place for breakfast.  I totally agree as it is my favorite place for breakfast at any time of the day or night. Round the clock is a restaurant that has something for everyone.  The menu has a wide range of food from soup and salads, sandwiches and burgers, to seafood and steak or ribs.  Prices are reasonable and portions are generous.  There is a mom and pop feel to the Valparaiso IN Round the Clock that I love.  At the Valparaiso location a goldfish pond at the entrance delights kids and adults alike. I love to get the turkey bacon club with fries. The French toast combo is highly recommended for breakfast at any tim...

At the Biblical Counseling Ministry of Faith Evangelical Bible Church, we base our instruction and advice solely on the Bible.  We take our responsibilities as a Christian Counseling Center extremely serious.  We are here to help provide a "safe place" when you are hurting.

We had the pleasure of dining at one of Valpo's newer restaurants yesterday between appointments and the freshly home cooked food was awesome! Meditrina Market Cafe is located on the corner of Washington and Jefferson in downtown Valparaiso one block off the main street (Lincolnway) a short walk from our office.     At 5:30 pm we were fortunate to be seated at the last available table inside this small local eatery - word of mouth has definitely spread! If you are in the area and enjoy Mediterranean dishes, this diner is a must to add to your list of places to try! You can visit their website or facebook page. We will definitely make a repeat visit, perhaps for lunch or take home some carry out:)

  We closed on a short sale listing in NW Indiana 95 days after the offer was accepted by the seller.   HAFA Short Sales have another layer of approval needed to close escrow.   We listed a Valparaiso, Indiana Property for Sale Subject to Lenders Approval of a short sale in which the seller met the guidelines for a HAFA Short Sale. After the Short Sale Approval, Buyer's Appraisal came back that home needed a new roof. Message from the short sale negotiator (servicing company) was not hopeful :   While I have been advised by my manager that it is unlikely that HUD will approve the variance we're requesting, I agree with you that it is our best option. However HUD has not yet responded to the variance. ...Jeff called HUD himself and initiated an escalation process that did get the needed...
