Great suggestions! Next time I'
I like both Downtown and Streeterville - I've love to live in your neck
of the woods at some point - it looks all too convenient. What I did
like most about Hyde Park though, was it still felt like you still had
some elbow room down there. We'd visit friends on the North Side and

I lived in Minneapolis for about 18 years. I've lived in Madison now

I'm near Chicago and have a sister, brother in law, 2 aunt-in-laws and
a grandma-in-law in Chicago or the burbs. I can probably answer some
