CHICAGO NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS - June 19, 2009

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

Good Morning, Folks!

Crazy weather day in Chicago yesterday - over 3" of rain, in a very short period of time.  Even this morning, many of us are still bailing, still drying out, and still picking up and moving fallen tree branches from the middle of our residential streets.

Today - drying out, sunny, 80 degrees, and HUMID today!  As they say, if you don't like the weather in Chicago . . . just wait a minute!

A bit tardy, but wanted to catch you up on this week's edition of Chicago Neighborhood News, from our Team Member Cathy Mallers.  This week, Cathy covers the Chicago Neighborhoods of Portage Park, Lincoln Park, The Loop, and Old Town, as well as the Western Chicago Suburb of Naperville IL.

Got something you'd like to publicize using our Chicago Real Estate Blog?  Let us know, and we'll help spread the word.  Our Team offers the Number One Rated Active Rain Blog in Chicago and across Cook County IL.

PORTAGE PARK

The Burgundy Restaurant is local place that's really a unique find.  It's one of those all-American diners where you get lots of food and the true neighborhood feel.

This place has been in the neighborhood for at least 15 years and has some staples that make it the local "Cheers."  There is the blond waitress who has been there for years.  It's a favorite for the local police and the prices cannot be beat.

LINCOLN PARK

Father's Day is this weekend and there are so many things to do for dad this weekend. 

One of the main things that would be unique for dad is to give him a great salon certificate to Halo Salon.  This week they are offering a great deal where you can buy a $50 coupon and get $20 off service being offered.

THE LOOP

The Taste of Chicago is coming, but if you're a planner like me then I have great news for you.

As you may or may not know the Taste (as we call it here) is a week long event that showcases the many restaurants and unique food styles in Chicago.  Now you can actually plan your day at the Taste by going through the map which is already available.

OLD TOWN

Hey, who wants to hug it out?

This weekend Jeremy Piven will be hosting the annual Piven Theatre Workshop Benefit at Rockit Bar & Grill (22 West Hubbard) this Saturday from 6 to 10 pm.

Of particular note is the live and silent auction with a chance for a walk-on role on HBO's "Entourage."
