Lindy's Landing Is Open

Thu, 19 Jul 2007 14:36:58 -0700

Last night 7/18/07, the main dinning area of Lindy's new building opened for the first time. My wife & I were sitting on the outside deck and decided to go in for dinner. The food was excellent!! I had the seafood pot pie, which was sea scallops, shrimp, craw-fish in a spicy cream sauce served over mashed potatoes with a piece of pastry on top. I thought it was outstanding. My wife had the Prime Rib served with mashed potatoes and asparagus. She said it was excellent, and I concur.

We also ate there the 4th Of July for dinner on the new outside deck. The dinner that night was also excellent. Their new chef David seems to be a great find. Keep up the good work.

BEST OF LUCK BRITTANY & LAURIE

IS THIS THE LAST OF WRIGLY FIELD??

Mon, 18 Jun 2007 14:00:16 -0700

It's Not A Game anymore , It's A Business.

This past Friday, June 15th I went down to Wrigly Field, and watched the CUBS beat the Padres. I know the CUBS are NOT having the BANNER SEASON we all hope for every year, but they still have the greatest fans in all of baseball. Being at Wrigly (Win or Lose) is something everyone should experiance at least once in a lifetime.

As I watched the game, it dawned on me that the CUBS will be SOLD at the end of this season and the status of Wrigly Field is in LIMBO??? Wrigly is the last of the old time great stadiums, and I'd really hate to see it go the route of Brooklyns Ebitts Field, Cincinnatis Crosly Field, N.Y. Giants Polo Grounds, N.Y. Yankees Old Yankee Stadium and Pittsburghs Forbes Field.

SAVE WRIGLY

Enjoy the Pictures:

The Picture with no name is OLD YANKEE STADIUM.

DOCKS ON BANGS LAKE, WAUCONDA ILLINOIS

Well it has been over a year since DOCKS opened for business in Wauconda!!! The decor is great, the menu should please all taste, and the bartenders are friendly. What more can you ask for?? Stop in and say hi and let me know what you think? After a few opening hiccups this restaurant has come into its own. The food is exceptional, the atmosphere is warm and friendly, & I highly recommend you give it a try.

Being a REALTOR and a long time resident of Wauconda, I know DOCKS will be a big boast for Wauconda and the surrounding area.

THE HIGH COST OF NATURAL GAS & ELECTRIC

Sun, 06 May 2007 11:16:05 -0700

Affordable ELECTRIC and NATURAL GAS bills are becoming a thing of the past. Sometimes we might think we have no say in these matters, but we do!!! The Citizens Utility Baord created in 1983, is a nonprofit nonpartisan consumer organization fighting for electric & natural gas customers across the state of ILLINOIS.

Go to the CUB site above and act now to roll back the ComEd and Ameren rate hikes! E-mail your elected official and voice your opinion. As a Realtor and long time Wauconda resident, I find these rate hikes "SHOCKING".

No matter were you live in ILLINOIS, it is time to make your voice heard.

RADON ?? WHAT IS IT??

Wed, 18 Apr 2007 14:11:09 -0700

Just as ASBESTOS and LEAD BASE PAINT was a big problem in the latter 1900s, RADON has become the ASBESTOS of the 2000s. As a Realtor in Wauconda and Lake County,RADON seems to be popping up more and more in home inspection reports. The word RADON seems to strike fear in buyers and sellers of homes.

RADON has always been here, but in recent years public awareness of it and its dangers have been heightened. It is important to learn what RADON is, its cause and the affect it has on us. There is a wealth of information on the net available to you.

If you are buying or selling a home and RADON becomes an issue, it is not the end of the world. RADON mitigation is not that expensive, and shouldn't be a cause for panic. Here is a little test I found on the net that you can take. I hope this test makes you more aware and prompts you to investigate more about RADON. It is something you should know about.

If your looking to buy or sell a home in Wauconda, Lake County, or McHenry County or if you have any real estate questions, free to give me a call.
