In the North Suburbs of Chicago, there are two types of people: cat people & dog people. I guess I always considered myself a dog person, now I know why that was a sensible decision.

I was raised a pop-not-soda-drinking, pothole-avoiding, early-and-often-voting, lawn-chair-parking-spot-saving Cubs fan. Forget the epithet “The Second City”…not just cuz we’re the third largest by population at this point…Chicago is “The First City” in my book… or blog, in […]
