In a few short weeks, we will all be lamenting the cooler temps and the shorter days. In just a month or two, we’ll be lamenting the cold weather, and question why we live here at all. So this is a reminder; we had an absolutely GORGEOUS spring and early summer! Then we had this INSANELY GORGEOUS late summer and early fall! It’s a genuine privilege to live in the most beautiful city in North America! Our park district here does such an awesome job!

When people ask for recommendations for movers, I usually suggest they go to Merchantile M. and ask for their list of the movers they suggest. Today I needed piece moved from my place in Rogers Park to my son’s place in Niles. So I reached out to Merchantile, got their list, and called Irving. He clearly knew his antiques, and how to move them with care. He showed up slightly early, was pleasant and professional, and got the task done in under 30 minutes. I’d definitely hire him again, and recommend him to anyone needing something to be moved or delivered. He even knew some of my neighbors who are antique dealers!

Some already may have heard we had a break-in yesterday early in the morning, around 5:42 am. They hit Replay as well. A very kind neighbor was walking his dog on Clark and heard and saw it happen. He called 911 as he was taking pics of the robbers and their car. He even got the license plate number which he shared with the police, but it was a stolen vehicle. The damage was minimal, under $1500, but nonetheless, it was a stressful way to start the day for the employees and myself. Still, I’m enormously grateful that it wasn’t much worse and that no one was hurt.
In Replay’s case, there was staff at the restaurant when it happened, and they wisely ran out the back door when they heard someone breaking in.

Often, when I see posts similar to this one, they’re captioned with “Be careful!”, but in truth, there’s little to be done in situations like this. One thing we did neglect (because this is the 1st break-in we’ve had in 30 years) was to leave the register open. With that, they will take the money, but not damage the equipment.

Anger is a normal response to being robbed, but honestly I don’t feel that at all. I know no one chooses to go into a life of crime, and only ends up doing it as a last resort. Some may think some addiction may be the motive, but it’s equally possible that survival is. I truly hope and pray that the men who did this are safe, and that their fortunes improve as soon as possible.

I want to give a shout out to Wholly Frijoles at 3908 W Touhy! We don’t have to leave the neighborhood with all the outstanding options here, but I have to acknowledge excellence when I experience it, and Wholly Frijoles delivers just that! The service was the warm, old school attentive service we just don’t see enough of these days, and the food was by far the best Mexican food that I’ve ever had! It so exceeded my expectations! Will definitely return.

(Sorry I didn’t take a better pic/ I was 1/2-way home when I realized I forgot!😳)
