Chicago Local: Character still king in Lincoln Park


We spotted this renovated and preserved charmer on the 1000 block of West Wrightwood Avenue next door to our new listing in Lincoln Park. A fun door, original cornice, original brick... character. We can't wait to see that landscaping fill in!

You can see a surprising amount of gorgeous vintage homes and impressive new construction on an afternoon walk down Wrightwood Avenue in Lincoln Park.

Should I stay or should I go?

The rebuttal



The new Children's Memorial Hospital closer to completion




We swung by the brand new construction Children's Memorial Hospital building on Sunday for a few photos (now the Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital).
It's a high profile location at 225 E. Chicago in the Streeterville.

The hospital features an amazing atrium and sky garden. The garden is the glassy box on the east side of the building.

Chicago Local: Millennium Park on a spring day


This past Sunday's weather was fantastic and most Chicagoans went their usual bonkers to get outside. Miraculously, I had an open spring Sunday so we grabbed the kids and headed to Millennium Park downtown. The yard work could wait!



We jumped on the CTA Brown Line from Damen and were at the park in about 40 minutes. The kids love the train.



Some lucky ducks took in a Chicago River architecture tour...one of the best attractions downtown!


The kids had a full day of parks, statues, buildings boats, people, music and...walking!
