chicago: Oh, that Sears... - 06/20/08 10:31 AM
I don't believe I'm all that different from most people who live in Chicago proper (i.e. not the 'burbs) in that I rarely take in the downtown sights except in accidental passing or escorting the occasional out of town visitor. My relocation referrals and I are usually zooming by each landmark, … (8 comments)

chicago: A Realtor's Tale (part one) - 06/11/08 08:54 AM
The seller thinks she's being robbed. She hasn't actually come out and said it but I can tell. I can always tell. The Chicago real estate market has not responded well to her little corner of Uptown these last 365 days and the MLS listed 2 bedroom, 1 bath condominium she … (7 comments)

chicago: Hot Doug's...Chicago Style - 06/03/08 06:42 PM

For months now I've been following with growing interest...no, make that great intrigue, the shaggy chic (if not downright haute) North Side neighbor-hood 'foodie' chatter surrounding a certain hot dog stand at the no-mans-land corner of Roscoe and California Avenues in the Avondale section of town. Location, location, location (the … (9 comments)

chicago: Flip This Garage - 05/01/08 05:35 PM
An earthquake measuring 5.2 on the Richter Scale (the 'It' source when it comes to earthquakes from what everybody says) hit downstate Illinois last Monday with an ensuing aftershock that actually shook the house I live in, 200 miles north in Chicago (not pictured, thank you). This was exactly three days … (7 comments)

chicago: Bubble...or just leaking hot air? - 01/29/07 05:16 PM
I'm going on the record once again to say that I look at Chicago property on a daily basis, be it in the car with clients or simply scouring the listings of each 'windy city' neighborhood (yes, its windy here today...very) for whatever is new and exciting on the market. I … (3 comments)

chicago: Love At Second Sight - 01/10/07 10:11 PM
 
Regardless of what my wife may tell you, she didn't fall in love with me the second our eyes first met. I'm sure of this for a couple of reasons. To begin with, she couldn't have possibly ignored me any more than she did on that first summer evening even though … (2 comments)

chicago: Meme, Swaps, And Other Passing Christmas Thoughts... - 12/18/06 06:06 PM

First I was traded, then I was tagged.(it's all good because I love baseball..."Teamwork! {Al Capone ala Bobby DeNiro in the Untouchables, bat in hand}...)  Just click on the links because I'm too tired to type all that again...it's all there in readable print on my CHW website. I'm on a movie … (6 comments)

chicago: What I Read.... - 11/22/06 06:37 PM
Most days I have lunch with my Broker at this small Chinese restaurant in Lincoln Park. Almost always seated toward the back is this one elderly individual, clearly from China and always reading the same old book with Asian characters on yellowed pages. For no other reason than this he reminds … (5 comments)
