| It's Spring in Chicago, that means
it can be 80° today and 40° tomorrow or even a few hours later.
On one of the nicer days I went back to my old neighborhood and took along
my camera. Many of the old stores still stand. You can sit and have fine
Italian bakery and coffee at D'Amatos, shop for Italian goods at Isola's
and have an excellent Italian lunch or dinner at Salerno's Restaurant or
at the famous Como Inn nearby. The neighborhood itself is being bought up
by young professionals who are restoring the old building into incredibly
beautiful (and expensive) homes and condos. |
