The Chicago North Shore has a fairly transient population, which has helped to keep the real estate market moving forward. If it were not for the number of large corporations and universities located in the area, property sales would have been badly pinched, like other parts of the country. Barron’s seems to think the market [...]

One of the advantages of living on the North Shore is the exceptional quality of the lakefront. In case you are new to the area or have just ignored the lake until now, Evanston, Wilmette, Winnetka, Highland Park and Lake Forest all have very well maintained beaches. None of that course rocky sand around here! [...]

In case you were bewildered by the road closures in and around Evanston yesterday, you where not alone. There always seems to be something going on in Evanston but the closure of most major road access points leading into downtown Evanston, was not expected.

Booze, jazz, flappers, gangsters and Prohibition, were very much part of 1920s-30s Chicago and the North Shore. The nationwide prohibition of alcohol was started in Evanston. Fortunately, Evanston has changed. Al Capone ruled the flow of illegal bubbly and the Chicagoland establishments that served it. It was a time of exceptionally well clad men and women enjoying the [...]

Having just returned from England, I think it’s appropriate to mention one of my passions. Antiques are a visual and symbolic link to a bygone era. They tell a story of how life was experienced in decades and centuries past. I find it euphoric to come across an 18th century book from the Enlightenment or a bakelite [...]
Lounge in roche bobois

Hans Hopfer has created a very cool line of furniture for rochebobois. Reminiscent of a 1960s California conversation pit, this line of home furnishing looks to fit the part of being used to entertain in a sophisticated manner. Somehow I can’t see sitting back watching a hockey game, eating a pizza on these sofas, but [...]
