Guess who else has a 40-year anniversary this year? Me! Oh my gosh, and this is what I love about my neighborhood. This year is my 40-year anniversary as a real estate agent in Chicago. This is a favorite shop of mine, Margaret O'Leary, and my friend Allison who lives around the corner. Oh, we're inches! Well, maybe 99 inches, maybe about 25 feet away from Don Pez Fish and Taco. Fabulous designer, a Lincoln Park favorite, Summer Thornton. This guy has been around the neighborhood, usually in front of Starbucks, but now in front of Walgreens for how many years? Ooh, for about 20. This is my go-to place for special gifts for people that I love. Now we are coming up to one of my very, very, very favorite places. Come on, come on. Best breakfast sandwiches, best anytime sandwiches. Croissant, brioche, baguette. I'm happy. I'm wandering around on Armitage. Life is good.
