It’s rainy here in Chicago right now and believe it or not, the weekend plans you have very much depends on the weather. And guess what? The forecast sais it will rain all day today (Friday) and part of Saturday as well. So that said, I advise indoor recreational activities instead of outdoor ones. It isn’t great […]
It is being reported by major news agencies this morning that a 5.2 magnitude earthquake originated from near Salem, IL last night at 4:37 am. Many people here in my office said they woke up last night about that time and felt the small ripples of earthquake shake here in the Chicago area. This is odd for the Midwest. We don’t […]
WGN Channel 9 in Chicago is a local TV station that is owned by the Tribune company. I grew up here and it has always been a part of Chicago’s news and entertainment on television for my family. I heard on their newscast that WGN is celebrating 60 years of Broadcasting this year and while […]

I don’t know about you, but I have a date and a […]

You can go to any one of a number of NYE parties happening around Chicago and have a great time. Many of these parties have been going for years and […]
This weekend the weather will not be the greatest for Thanksgiving, but hopefully it will not keep flights from getting out of O’Hare or cause traffic on the highways for those of you driving to your family and friends’ houses.

I was recently asked about how to survive a Chicago winter by someone moving here from a warm southern state who had never dealt with extreme cold, wind, snow and Ice. I have lived in Chicago all my life, so I figured I could help with some tips for survival and hopefully help him avoid […]
It’s that time of year when the leaves are changing color and falling off the trees and you want to find the best place to see them and take some pictures. It is also a great time to take a trip to a local apple picking farm and orchard or to a pumpkin farm to pick […]
