Prairie School Architecture in Winnetka - 08/29/10 12:11 PM
Prairie School Architecture in Winnetka When one thinks of the Midwest, one thinks of prairies, no? Grasses that would come up to the withers on horses making their way through the (formerly) vast prairies of Illinois. What makes Prairie really unique to us is that it is totally indigenous, the first architectural style to not be based on a European model. It's 100% American and was revolutionized by Frank Lloyd Wright when he was starting out in Oak Park, Illinois. Frank Lloyd Wright felt that Victorian homes were boxy and confining with their maze of smaller rooms and he envisioned low … (3 comments)

Northfield Puts Home Rule Referendum on November Ballot - 08/28/10 02:04 PM
Northfield Puts Home Rule Referendum on November Ballot The Village of Northfield trustees voted to put the issue of home rule on the November 2, 2010 ballot. What exactly is home rule and why would a town want to govern itself this way? Primarily as a means to better control its finances. Non-home rule means more control and limitations from Springfield whereas home rule gives a village more flexibility and options over its finances and revenue raising. It's a delegation of power from the state to various forms of government such as counties, villages, towns, etc. Home rule creates local autonomy … (0 comments)

919 Westerfield Square - Wilmette Townhouse for Sale - 08/16/10 12:22 PM
919 Westerfield - Wilmette Townhouse
Not too long ago, the 38 townhomes at Westerfield Square were very hard to come by. They always sold by word of mouth, long before there was any chance of getting listed and sold through the Multiple Listing Service. As with everything else real estate related these days, that has changed and these great townhomes are now much more available and the prices have come down as well. This lovely unit has 3 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths plus a full finished basement and nice sized patio. All units have a detached 1-car garage. The location … (2 comments)

If your home is still on the market it’s probably priced too high - 08/06/10 10:07 AM
I've repeated many times that overpricing your home will ultimately cause you to obtain less money for it, not more.
Via Buki Burke Ventura Coastal Real Estate (Prudential California Realty):
If your home has been for sale for more than 100 days you're probably tired of looking at the for-sale sign in your front yard. If you want to sell your property now and get on with your life, pay close attention: Your price is too high!
In good markets or bad, price is the key factor in selling a home. Regardless of location or condition, any home will sell at the right … (0 comments)

Obama Celebrates His Birthday at Our Restaurant!! - 08/05/10 06:57 PM
Truth #1: I am not an Obama fan.
Truth #2: I am very excited that he celebrated his 49th birthday yesterday at Graham Elliot, the Chicago restaurant that my husband and I invested in 4 years ago.
I don't have to agree with his politics to bathe in this glow. My husband and son were there, shook his hand, and saw Oprah chilling at the bar with some friends. Other diners included Valerie Jarret and Gayle King.
Why was I not there?
Had to get up early to serve on our board's Professional Standards Committee. Didn't really believe he … (4 comments)

Guanajuato - Fresh Mexican Food in Glencoe - 08/04/10 07:15 PM
Guanajuato - Fresh Mexican Food in Glencoe
Did you ever imagine that a strip mall in Glencoe would house a fun new restaurant that serves really fresh Mexican food . . . and over 50 specialty tequilas. Well, okay, it's not totally new since it used to be the former restaurant Wholey Quacamole just a few storefronts away. But Guanajuato (pronounced juan-a-wotto) is the real thing.
The owner, Margarita Challenger, comes from the city and state of Guanajuato in central Mexico. After arriving in the United States about 20 years ago, she put herself through culinary school in Chicago. She then … (2 comments)
