One of the coolest things about Facebook (actually, perhaps the only cool thing) is the ability to connect with people you haven’t seen since you were kids and see how they turned out. You go years and years without even thinking about them (maybe even trying hard to forget them) (especially if they were really mean to you), and then - with the press of a button - voilà - you can track their entire life.
They are overweight, super-skinny, billionaires, waiters, authors, doctors, ticket-takers, parents of 6, childless, standby extras in TV shows shot in Chicago, world travelers, proud grandparents, miserable grandparents, distressed, cat-crazy, amateur vegan chefs, divorced, divorced twice, divorced three times, bald, so happy, very sad. They have wrinkles, facelifts, very white teeth, horrible teeth, and lots of gross medical conditions they post pictures of.
Recently, one of my childhood homes hit the market, and I had a Facebook moment when I scrolled through the pictures. In an instant, I could witness generations of change: baths had been gut-renovated (no tub in the kids’ bathroom!), the exterior brick painted, the kitchen opened up, my mother’s decorating stripped, and a sports court added in the yard. Curiously, the finished basement was no longer finished. The gorgeous wood built-ins my dad built in the family room were removed (a shanda!), and everything just looked so bland and small. I couldn’t even tell which bedroom had been mine.
When our family moved from that house years ago, our house’s story continued - just with new families. I’m here to help with that transition - to help the new buyers envision the next chapter of their own lives in your old house...and to enrich your life's story in your new home.
Even if you don't post it on Facebook.

Dog Day at Gallagher Way is back by popular demand this Saturday from 1:00 - 5:00 PM outside Wrigley Field. Come get treats from local dog-friendly vendors, drinks and lawn games for the humans, and watch the Cubs game on the videoboard. Pets attending the event with their owners are required to have updated vaccinations and to be on a leash. Owners are responsible for their dogs and must immediately clean up after them. One Tail at a Time will be on-site with dogs available for adoption and collecting donations for dogs and cats in need. Find their wish list here. Don't forget to bring your pup to the Lucky Dorr patio for the official after party!
