CHICAGO, BABY!

I am in Chicago, AGAIN. I spend a lot of time here lately. I discovered this amazing city when touring colleges with my amazing first born, who now attends Loyola University as a THEATRE MAJOR! Tonight I will see him in Tartuffe, by Moliere. I saw it last night and it was hilarious. So, back to Chicago. I am considering a move. Seriously considering a move. As Stefon (those who love SNL will know him) says...."This place has everything..." and it does. Mostly it has the workable super-urban environment that I crave. I think that some people feel alive when they are hiking or experiencing nature. I am the exact opposite. I feel alive when I am walking in an urban area, everywhere around you are other people (all with incredible stories) a choice of restaurants (Cambodian brunch? Are you kidding? Sign me up!), and public transportation to give access to everything you need in life. I think that all this weird love of the urban was born when I moved to NYC for grad school... and I have been yearning to return to it. Hard when you have a family, I know. But now? I am free to move wherever I want. Chicago, are you ready for me? Bring it.
