Chicago, the Musical

May 9th, 2008

Because I am a professional composer, I decided I wanted to live in a city known for its music. Musicians often feed off of each other and I wanted to be somewhere where there is a strong musical synergy.

This is how I came to the decision to re-locate to Chicago. Not only does it have a strong musical history, it is currently producing many great artists. Chicago is perfect. Well, almost perfect. It is a lot more expensive than the small town I am from. Event though I had sold my moderately large house back home, I knew I had to look for something small. My real estate agent put in a lot of time helping me look for a place. She was ultimately able to find me a home that was much larger than what I had expected, for a price that was a lot less than expected!

I plan on spending all the money I saved on going to see some great music acts. Now my only problem is deciding which ones to attend. There are so many talented musicians performing in the city every single night! I owe it all to the agent I found through Real Estate Agents in Chicago.

Chicago is the Place for Sports Fans

May 5th, 2008

My husband has been an extreme sports fanatic since he was a little boy. He’s one of those men who sit in front of the television for hours screaming at the screen. He plans his life around major sporting events. So you can imagine just how thrilled he was when his job relocated us to Chicago. He was ecstatic!

Chicago is heaven to any sports fan. The sports teams in Chicago are world famous. There is something for every sports fan. There is the Chicago Bulls basketball team, the Chicago Bears football team, for baseball there are the Chicago Cubs and the White Sox, and for Hockey there is the Chicago Blackhawks.

I’m not much for sports, but I have no complaints because Chicago is a great city with so much to offer. We had no idea how to go about finding a home in such a big city. I did some searching and I found an awesome agent through Real Estate in Chicago. Our agent was amazing. She managed to find us a wonderful home in Wrigleyville. My husband and I couldn’t be happier.

Chicago Shopping

April 30th, 2008

I love to shop! Who doesn’t? When I first moved to Chicago I went completely nuts. The shopping is amazing! Michigan Avenue has tons of high-end world famous shops.

You can find Ralph Lauren, Chanel, Gucci, Dior, and so many more of the classic favorites. There are also plenty of lesser known, but equally amazing boutiques.

There are several large department stores downtown and throughout the city. There are also plenty of wonderful vintage clothing stores and thrift stores. There are shops for everything you can imagine! It is a compulsive shoppers paradise! I have no trouble finding anything I want to buy.

However, I did have a hard time finding a place to live when I moved here. My difficulties lead me to acquire some help from one of Chicago’s real estate agents. I found a perfect real estate agent through Real Estate Agents in Chicago. They helped me find an awesome condominium right in the middle of the shopping district. They also helped me get a great deal on it. Every shopper loves a great deal!
