CHICAGO NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS - June 5, 2009

By
Real Estate Agent with Dean's Team - Keller Williams Realty Partners Chicago IL

Hey, everyone!

A late night here in Chicago, as the Universal Headquarters of Dean's Team Chicago, as well as Keller Williams Lincoln Square, moved our offices!  We're now just a few short blocks away from our old place.

Our new digs -

     2156 W. Montrose Avenue, Chicago, IL  60618.  Corner Montrose & Lincoln Avenues.

No changes in phone numbers or email from before, of course!

A bit late tonight due to our move, but here is our Team Member Cathy Mallers latest review of Chicago Neighborhood News.  This week, Cathy covers the Chicago Neighborhoods of Portage Park, Lakeview, The West Loop, and Lincoln Square, as well as the Chicago Suburb of Naperville IL.

Have a celebration or other civic or charitable event in your Chicago Neighborhood or Suburb?  Let us know - we'll help get the word out!  Dean's Team offers the Number One Rated Active Rain Blog in the City of Chicago, and across Cook County IL!

PORTAGE PARK

We have not done this in some time, so we decided it was time to take a little food tour of our favorite eateries in Portage Park. 

If you are looking for a great place that's affordable, good for the family and has amazing steak tacos, then look no further than La Palapita.  This place gets 4-stars overall and consistently high ratings on Yelp.

Another of the more impressive eateries is your own home with Give Me Some Sugar.  They have received 5-stars across the board on Yelp.  One of the best parts of their service is that they will customize your at-home experience for whatever you want.  One group did their own Ace of Cakes rather than a 3-course meal.

LAKEVIEW

Marilyn Monroe.  Do you know who she is?

All kidding aside, there is going to be an homage to Hollywood's bombshell at the Kit Kat Lounge & Supper Club this Sunday, June 7. 

The dinner special will be completely themed to honor the legend.  You can expect to see many themed items including "All About Eve" gazpacho.  To read more, click here.

THE WEST LOOP

It's festival time in Chicago and one of the lesser known festivals is the Chicago Caribbean JerkFest at the West Loop's Union Park.

In addition to the local Caribbean bands, there will be a Jerk Cook-off featuring both pro and amateur chefs.  This is one not to miss.  Click here for more information.

LINCOLN SQUARE

Another favorite of ours is sweets.  I mean who doesn't love a good old fashioned ice cream cone or a slice of cake or chocolate.   Well the Sweet Collective in Lincoln Square is definitely the place to be.

Of course, there is the Lincoln Square favorite of Café Selmarie.  Located in the heart of the Lincoln Square commercial center, this location has been around since 1983 and continues to be a main part of the local community.

NAPERVILLE

I admit it, I like Apple.  Their products go a long way in creating cutting edge technology that brings about positive changes not to mention no viruses.

Apple has now signed a deal in Naperville to open a new store (similar to the one on Michigan Avenue) at Main and Jefferson streets.  To read more, click here.

Beautiful weather is predicted here in Chicago this weekend - sunny, no rain, not too hot!  Enjoy!
