 Wow! Incredible, aren't they? And, you can see these blooming shrubs at the Garfield Park Conservatory right now. They have a show of spring flowers that's just amazing. And, the price? Free. It's under the auspices of the Chicago Park District.Of course, you could also visit the Lincoln Park Conservatory which is adjacent to Lincoln Park Zoo. Another Chicago Park district attraction.And, if you're downtown, visit our new Millennium Park which has a wonderful ever-changing garden, and our silver bean: Cloudgate. Stay for a summer concert on the grass.Ah, life is good...especially in Summer time!

  The RED LIGHT restaurant along Randolph Street in the West Loop of Chicago is an awesome place.  It looks like French meets the Far East!  This area of the West Loop has some great restaurants. I lived in the West Loop area just before it became the very trendy area that it is today.  I sold Lofts, Condominiums and Townhomes here.  I loved it because it was uncrowded and it was a cab ride to all the places that I wanted to go in the city.  I belonged to the community group that protected this area from being taken over by high rises.  The height restriction was 8 stories, nothing higher than that.  I hope that this is still the restriction now. The Red Light offers some great fusion food and I had my favorites.  The shrimp curry over rice and some steamed green beans with sesame, was ...

                       It is almost time for me to visit Chicago!  I hear from my friends and family that it is Spring in Chicago.  I grew up in Chicago and I love everything about the city except the winters.  So, from Spring to Fall, I visit Chicago often. I visit all of my favorite restaurants, sights and stores...oh and I visit friends and family as well. One of the places that I always start out with is GIBSONS for the best steaks and people watching around.  My all time favorite is the Steak with the  Bernaise Sauce, it is just out of this world.  They also make great Martinis to go with this or you will find something you like on their wine list.  The dining room is great but I do prefer the bar or a table by the window.  I love the parade of very fashionable, beautiful and inter...

As I selected the outfits my sons would don today I mused back to the tail-end of my childhood when "Garanimals" were introduced. Garanimals, for those not in the know, was and is a children's clothing line providing tops and bottoms each emblazoned with animal tags designed to make matching little one's outfits a bit easier. What a brilliant idea, especially early in the morning either before the coffee kicks in or before you've had a chance to even get the coffee going. The decision essentially makes itself as you simply match the giraffe to the giraffe and set your beloved forth to greet the day with a cohesive outfit. When you think about it, though, most of us have a hankering for this degree of convenience. Whether it's turning to a yenta to help find a spouse or hiring an interio...

Change.It comes in a pile of coins.Or it's expressed on the calendar four times a year with the shifting of the seasons.Or it happens at odd, possibly unexpected times in one's professional life.Kind of like an old school coffee percolator, the idea of a change was brewing for me a bit before the change came to be. I had been with Sussex & Reilly for three years, being recognized each year as one of the firm's top producers. And while nothing was wrong, per se, as time passed I sensed that something was missing.And though in 2007 I was the brokerage's number two individual producer and in the top 10 of all Century 21 agents in the greater Chicagoland area I was yearning for something new and different. I also deeply desired a brokerage behind me that would enable me to continue to perfo...

As more new home buyers save time by searching properties online the risk for misrepresentation is higher then ever. Hundreds of websites offer quick access to Chicago’s homes with photos, prices and descriptions. Unfortunately critical information can be left out such as how long a property has been on the market, how many times there has been a price reduction or if any special assessments have been levied on the property that the new buyer may have to assume. “The MLS is really the only regulated and consistent resource out there,” explains David Vargas with @properties who specializes in working with first time home buyers. “If information on a website is misrepresented or outdated I’ve just wasted my client’s time and that’s frustrating.” All real estate professionals have access t...

Moses tooled up to an East Village coffee shop earlier today on his new sleek silver Vespa.It had been a while since I had seen the old guy, but I'm never surprised by what he does or how he does it. Today being a slight slice of Spring on what this year has been an ever-elongating wintry landscape he opted to go, as he referred to it, as "topless." So there he was in front of the Mercury coffee shop on Chicago Avenue just east of Ashland beaming like a goofy sophomore who was taking the prom queen to the dance. We in Chicago tend to get a bit short of breath with each whisper of spring and mi amigoMoses, possibly as a testament to his youthful spirit, is no different as he showed off his new ultra-efficient two-wheeler before temperatures headed south again. You see though April is a s...

Personally, I would have thought for an incumbent, He'd have a slicker marketing plan and a little nicer digs. In fact, His headquarters building, shown here at Elston and Kimball on Chicago's Northwest side, looks a little shopworn to me but hey, who am I to judge? I admittedly haven't read Revelations so I'm not too sure of the 'Economic Stimulus Package He had in mind for this particular generation of Americans. I'm pretty certain though, Sacrifice must be stuck in there somewhere.Perhaps it was attached as a congressional rider. Think about it; it makes a very good case for line item veto privilages for those in the highest office. But again, it's only me at the keyboard and as I've inferred early and often, Theology wasn't my strongest subject.Anyway, since I've been known to give ...

If you're in Chicago this evening and it suddenly goes dark, don't worry!  Chicago will make history this evening by being the "flagship" city in the United States for Earth Hour. The reason the World Wildlife Fund chose our city is because our iconic skyline, Mayor Daley is very involved in going GREEN, and because our population has a sense of community. Chicago is going black to go green!  More than 60 cities worldwide will be participating in Earth Hour, tonight from 8 to 9PM.  There are over 160 buildings in Chicago that are taking part in "lights out".  Schools, churches, hotels and restaurants are all participating...from the city to the suburbs.   They will be showing the dark skyline "LIVE" on www.nbc5.com  They are hoping people all over the area will take part in Earth Hour t...
