June 7th, 2009 · Uncategorized
I have showed this unit to a potential buyer, it is a great unit with south view to the lake and the park, the city, everything is new in it too. The asking price is $697,000, really reasonable for a three bedrooms unit in a brand new building. I am sure if I have the money, I will be very happy to buy this unit, it is 1,900 square feet, it will be perfect for our family, actually our space is OK, not very small, and if we want to build walls for our den, we could do it too! But after seeing so many new condos, I would like to live in a new place too, who does notJ

Taste of Randolph – Randolph Street, west of Peoria Street

Almost everyone has heard of the taste of Chicago but not everyone has heard of the Taste of Randolph, we went there a couple of years ago, it started to rain during the taste so we ended up in a Japanese restaurant and had our taste there. This neighborhood has lots of restaurants, so it is great fun to check this out! The date is June 19-21, mark on your calendar please!

This is nice and cute farmer’s market, it is going to start again from June 9th, my kids loves the small strawberries, they are so fresh and sweet, not to mention that they are organic!

Margarita Party at the Park Shore!
June 7th, 2009 · Uncategorized
We are going to have a Margarita Party again this year, Elizabeth has a classmate whose name is Margarita, so last year when we mentioned there is a Margarita Party, she was very excited and then she noticed that Margarita is not even there. She was a little worried and asking about where she was and where is the cake for her, we had to tell her that this is an adult party not kids’ party.
If life gives you lemons, you make lemonade; but if life gives you limes, it’s time to make margaritas! It’s time to see our neighbors and make new friends! The party is going to be on Thursday, June 25th, 2009, 6-9pm in the club room on the first floor!
Roof top pool is going to be ready soon – 195 N Harbor Dr.
June 7th, 2009 · Uncategorized
Our pool is still under construction. The swimming pool will be filled and chemically balanced as soon as possible. We saw the notice from the building management mentioning that the work will be completed by June 10, 2009. We just need to weather to get nicer to so that we could jump into our pool again!
While I was showing around these days, I noticed that the pools in the new buildings are so shallow, not sure the reason for it. But they are all like 3 FT – 3FT, even the pool at the 340 Randolph, the size of the pool is 3.5FT – 3FT. I am not sure how people swim in there as they is really shallow for me!

S. Michigan Ave. Saturday morning brunch
June 7th, 2009 · Uncategorized
It’s Saturday morning, Elizabeth was very excited, she kept on mentioning that Saturday is her favorite day of the week, I am sure it is also most people’s favorite day. So I agreed with her, then I remembered that I have to come to sit at my open house from 12:00 – 2:00pm. If I could pick up a buyer, yes, it is worth it, but who knows. Eric has mentioned “Yolk”, we could do some walk and then enjoy a great brunch.
It took a little longer than we thought and the kids were fighting for the cookies as they are hungry, finally we made it to the Yolk, it has yellow sign outside, so interesting, it was 10:00am and we walked though the crowded hall way only to find out the wait is 45 minutes, so it must be a great place but the kids can’t wait that long, we ended up in Mei’s Kitchen next door. It has buffet too.
There are lots of fans from Honduras to come to watch the World Cup qualifier soccer game at the Soldier Field today. The couple sat next to our table was very friendly and chatted with us about how cute our girls are and what teams are going to play. They must think we live here and we do not even want to go to see the game, they had to fly here and go to the game.
There are a few choices for the brunch, the kids like the sausages, the fruits, the pancake, the waffle and the two cherrio boxes, they each had some juice too. Then when we looked outside, we noticed that the Shedd Aquarium is right out there. Since we got the membership in the winter, why not take them to go to see the fishes! The kids were so happy with this idea and they took their cherrio’s with them to go to pretend to feed the fishes!

I can’t believe this price has dropped below $500,000, this split two bedrooms has around 1,336 square feet, the building was built in 2007, this is a great building right behind the City hall. It has great amenities too. I love the east facing units in this building, but with this price, this is not so bad, while we were doing search in 2006, we could not find anything less than $500,000 in this building. It has new kitchen, new bathrooms and wood floor. The listing price of this unit is $485,000. Sometimes I do wish that we have not bought our unit yet, since there are so many choices out there!

This is a two bedrooms unit has around 1,365 square feet, this is a spacious two bedrooms. This building’s name is JOFFREY TOWER, it used to have a Walgreen downstairs, I still remember that they had a sign saying that the store has been there for more than 100 years, so this is a great location.
