Romney's in the 'Hood - Winnetka


Helicopters flying overhead, limos streaming down the street, and people dressed to the nines.  What in the Winnetka - Romney?world is going on?

We live near a church - is it a notable funeral?

There's a school down the street - what could be that fancy there?

Aha!  A quick conversation with a limo driver - Mitt Romney is having a fund raising dinner down the street at a local well-known business magnate's home.

Is it true?  We'll know when the evening news comes on.

Something different than your usual Tuesday night in Winnetka.

(Update:  The Chicago Tribune reported the following day that Mitt Romney indeed paid a quick visit to Winnetka.)

Now, if these peiople would also leave a few extra dollars at the local establishments, it would be doubly good!

True, but I think he was in and out pretty quick!

Margaret, sounds like a bit of excitement for your town that you would not normally get. Doesn't sound like it interrupted normal life too much though.

When the big dogs come to our city talk about traffic jams!  Whew .... If I'm showing homes I make sure to schedule far away from the route and try to avoid the areas at all cost.

So did he?

Obama stopped at Chinatown in San Francisco and caused quite a stir.

I just hope that with all that commotion, they bought something from the locals and do their part in stimulating the local economy :)

Silvia - it was exciting and there was really no disruption at all

John - This is not usually an issue around here in the suburbs - just one VIP lives in the area and things usually happen around dinner time

Pacita - he did!  The Chicago Tribune reported the following day that he did indeed visit Winnetka.
