Trekking around the bottom tip of Lake Michigan in opposition to the recreating hoards, I find myself smack dab in the middle of a beautiful, practically perfect slice of autumn. Like all kids from the hinterlands, I love the capital of the Midwest like my mother and have missed it so much some times it hurts. Nearly all the time I lived in Chicago in my former life, home was on Near North Side, close to Michigan Avenue and Lake Shore Drive. Small apartments with fantastic views of either the city or the lake.
These days my finances won’t permit proximity to the lake, and many other neighborhoods have been gentrified to accommodate all the suburban empty nesters who couldn’t wait to live back downtown. Four-legged roommates are an issue, particularly canines. We would like an elevator building with no steps for Fido due to his arthritis and my gimpy right arm. What a pair.
More questing today. Wish us luck!
