glenview: Pet Friendly Condos in Winnetka, Wilmette & the North Shore
- 11/06/13 06:39 AM
UPDATED 2022
PET-FRIENDLY CONDOS IN WINNETKA AND THE NORTH SHORE
Animal lovers are often frustrated in their search for a new condo in Winnetka and other North Shore suburbs. I have had many buyer clients horrified to discover that their favorite condo complex won't allow man's best friend in the door. As a dog lover myself, I don't understand why all buildings don't just allow the creatures in their realm. As a pragmatist, I know that some people don't like them, and others have severe allergies and can't like them even if they wanted.

Block Parties - a Cherished North Shore TraditionUpdated 2022
Back in 1986 when I moved to Roger Avenue in Kenilworth, the moms of the block revived an old tradition - the Fourth of July block party.
I moved away from the block in 1989 - but I have never given up on the block party. Every year since, my family has returned, first with children in tow, and as they grew up, just the two of us.
And so it is throughout the North Shore - and not just on the Fourth of July. Every Memorial Day, Labor Day, and just any old day, … (1 comments)

UPDATED 2022 Village Treasure House Glenview, IL Who would have thought that a small brick building down a narrow street in a commercial district would house a . . . Treasure House? I never knew this place existed, never heard of it, never knew anybody else that knew about it. But then my mother-in-law, an interior designer, told me about it.I couldn't find it the first time. Up and down the street, straining to see the numbers on the buildings. I fully believed I was in the wrong part of town. But yes, there it was, an unprepossessing storefront surrounded by … (0 comments)

glenview: Willow Road Bottleneck in Northfield - Can It Ever Be Solved?
- 09/28/09 10:25 AM
Many years ago when I lived in my very first apartment in South Pasadena in California, my house was just 1/2 block away from a street that was destined to become an extension of the Long Beach Freeway. The street was called Meridian and those of us who traveled the area knew it was long overdue but also a shame since the street sliced through a nice leafy suburb with pretty homes. To this day, the extension has not been built because of strong, vehement actually, opposition to it.
Fast forward to today and the scene is repeating itself in the … (1 comments)
