Chicago

My first tour of Loyola U.-Lakeshore campus-Love it!

Beautiful architecture and a wonderful vibrant mix of very old and very new--should have gotten a great pic of the Information Building--a glass box sitting at the water's edge with a row of leather chairs set up to take in the perfect contemplative view of Lake Michigan

Welcome to the neighborhood -I'll take it!

Complete with sandy beach

Moving day always requires a handy man and his tool box-luckily no lofts were needed with this move!

Mitchell moved to Chicago and we helped him move in this weekend. He has a fabulous 3 story older brick building in a tree-lined neighborhood with a completely updated interior and a private shared deck/courtyard in the back. Within walking distance of  campus, a grocery store, several restaurants and lake Michigan-it is a perfect spot! I had not toured Loyola in the past (Kevin had with Nick and Joe) and was relieved that the campus felt "right". What a beautiful mix of old and new--its a very vibrant campus. Seeing smelling and hearing Lake Michigan is a real plus! 

Friday night we hit a neighborhood spot Uncommon Ground--  a green restaurant with roof top garden--we loved it!

Saturday changed it up a bit and joined the Pauls with Sean (Mitch's roommate) Ditka's  a Chicago classic and Ditka was in the house. A whirlwind of a trip but Mitchell is settled and will no doubt have an awesome  year in his new "world".
