Do you ever feel like you’re out of touch when it comes to the wide array of techno-toys that exist? I mean, who can keep up with the myriad changes? Not that I aspire to acquire the latest and greatest digital fare. Au contraire! This morning I received an email from a close friend in another city, ending: [...]

While I praise public transit as a cost-effective, eco-friendly way to get where I want to go, I also consider commuting to be a great way to maximize my time. Indeed, whenever I’m on a bus or train I make the most of every ride. As an avid reader, the object of my adoration the [...]
Chicago Lakefront Soccer Grandma
Posted in What's happening in the 'hood, tagged Jill Press, lakefront living, soccer on May 31, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Victory is sweet. Especially when attending my grandson’s AYSO soccer game at 8:00 on a Saturday morning! As a realtor, I favor early morning games that allow me to be present without having to juggle my showings. Even today’s eager buyers are not looking to get started before 9:00. In fact, with games at various times I only missed one this [...]
Tulips tell it like it is

What reminds you of spring? In my view, nothing says springtime in the city more than tulips. In fact, one of the rarely mentioned, tangible benefits of car-free living includes tulips. It’s true! Strolling most anywhere in downtown Chicago during the month of May, well, what can I say? Tulips rule! This time of year many of the high-rises along Lake [...]
Chicago Bulls See Red Wear Red

It’s an awesome time to be the avid basketball fan that I am. On the heels of the Bulls’ exhilarating, over-the-top 121-118 Double OT victory over the Celtics this afternoon, I am finally able to write about my recent run- in with the Bulls… Armed with an inordinate amount of high expections I attended my first-ever Chicago Bulls playoff [...]
Walk to Wrigley!

How far would you walk to a baseball game? With the Cubs home opener upon us, residents of Wrigleyville and beyond brace ourselves for the annual uptick of automobile traffic. While I enjoy an unobstructed view of the ballpark from my Lakeview high-rise, I’m astounded and yes, disconcerted each year, as I witness the never-ending queue of cars along Addison Street in the [...]
Chicago Condo History 101
Posted in Buyer Buyer Not So Dire!, High-rise lowdown, tagged Buyer, Chicago Real Estate, condo living, Edgewater, Jill Press on March 19, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
“Why would anyone want to buy an apartment?!” This question was posed more than three decades ago by someone who’d been raised in suburban Chicago during the 1950s and ’60s; privileged to have lived in a single-family house since the age of two. As a young adult in the early 1970s, she moved to a high-rise rental apartment on [...]

And the hits just keep on coming… This week, I received email from two total strangers as well as a guy I haven’t seen since I lived in Champaign-Urbana, Ill., circa 1970! All three had read Lee Crandell’s profile of me in Carfree Chicago. Three people in different cities reaching out to me. Why? One is starting a Biking Realtors Group in Chicago and [...]

Out-of-the-blue blogosphere, this fellow contacted me Sunday via email after reading my blog which, at the time, was 10-days old. He asked me to contribute to his community blog and wanted to do an online interview with me. Thank you to my son, Dylan, who took the photo that accompanies the interview by Lee Crandell of Carfree [...]
It’s All About the Journey
Posted in Car-free digest, What's happening in the 'hood, Yoga corner, tagged Car-free, Jill Press, River North, Sustainable Lifestyle, Yoga on February 13, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Where do I take yoga classes? After launching my maiden blog last week, I received a number of phone and email queries about all things yoga. I’m glad to jump-start a discussion for anyone wondering if yoga might be a good fit for them; as well as for seasoned practitioners who might like to share their yoga stories. For the record, I commute [...]
