Reasons why we're moving...
- I am tired of being asked for money in the 10 minute walk between my apartment and the train.
- I am tired of dealing with neighbors who have on consideration for others and also feel I owe them respect or need to defer to them because of my race or gender.
- I am tired of looking out my window and seeing police have people pulled over and being patted down outside my building.
- I am tired...

Not near the lake, but no problem with pets. 2 br/1 ba, in unit washer and dryer, central air, garage, the building has a fitness center and a rooftop deck. On the 4th floor, elevator, doorman. Oh, and the best part… Exposed brickwork and ductwork. The building dates from the 20s and used to be the Floresheim Shoe Factory. It’s a Chicago Historic Landmark building.

I am a big fan of the click and hold on the dock icon to quit an open application rather than the other 2 or 3 ways you can quit in OSX, but I wish (even if it were a preference) I could drag the icon of an open app off the dock and it would quit the app.

So I was made privy to a food blog that has some pretty amazing recipes and if you don’t pay too much attention, you don’t really notice they are all vegetarian, natural and pretty good for you. The blog is http://www.101cookbooks.com/ and if you like to cook or just read about and look at nice photos of tasty food, I suggest you check it out.
I made a 9 grain bread from this site...
