From the Village to Roscoe Village....



About six weeks ago, we moved into our new condo in Roscoe Village, which is on the Northwest side of Chicago.  We are absolutely in love with our new neighborhood so far.  We traded a few frat boys and a 7/8 mile walk north to Wrigley for strollers and a 1.1 mile walk west to Wrigley!  It's lovely and tree-lined, and we've spent the past few weekends exploring, finding new neighborhood bars, restaurants, and parks, and enjoying our deck.  Needless to say, it is a big change from our old life on Bleecker Street, but we are loving it.

One of our greatest discoveries so far has been the Hamlin Park Pool.  Hamlin Park is a huge public park at the corner of Damen and Wellington that has a playground, four softball fields, basketball courts, lawns for sunning, and the most GORGEOUS public pool I have ever seen.  It's clean and the lounge chairs are new and comfortable, and I think I will be spending every possible moment there from now until the Nugget makes his arrival.  Floating around in the cold water is about the only relief I get these days....


Enjoy your weekend!
