Somehow, I have been here for 9 months, but the only city I have been to in Illinois is Chicago. Today, I had to go up to Evanston to work at the main office for my Saturday job. And I barely noticed the 45 minute drive to get there.
It doesn't hurt that I got to drive up LSD. Waiting at the Fullerton light to get on, I saw the trees glowing bright green, and the sun glistening off the lake. As I drove past Diversey harbor I saw all the boats neatly tied and bobbing.
Evanston is filled with neat, tree-lined streets, brick, ivy and interesting (huge) houses. Varying from colonnades to craftsmen houses. Now I know why all of these properties I type up are millions of dollars. And now I know where they are! It screams homey academic suburb. It makes me think fond thoughts of the PhD program at Northwestern. Near the city, but quieter and pretty.
on the tube: ER (haven't gotten up to change the channel.)
