Chicago-Land Fun is just a short drive from NW Indiana Living!
I was born & raised on the south Side of Chicago (10th ward to be exact - Hegewish;)
Moving to NW Indiana (1st Lake County-St. John in 89, then Porter County-Valparaiso in 97) was a great way for us to benefit from affordable housing and lower taxes, yet be within driving distance or train ride to major attractions in Chicago!
Recently, I surprised Jeff with a Father's day gift - some Ivy Leage rooftop baseball Tickets to watch a Cubs game overlooking Wrigley Field.
The views were spectacular, not to mention the yummy buffet and comfy cushioned leather seats.
The Cubs needed more help that night (they lost) but, I won't go there, as we are house divided ;0 on our sports team choices which always makes life interesting (Jeff roots for Cubs, Pacers, & IU Hoosiers...as a south sider I'm a White Sox fan, da Bears and Purdue Boilermaker Mom LOL - that's why we have season tickets at our local VU for basketball - it's common ground:)
Anyway here are some photos of our day off :)- I do enjoy trips the the Windy City - Chicago is close enough to visit daily as many people who work in Chicago reside in NW Indiana. if we can help you "transplant" to the small town or country living from this big city, give us a call as we've lived in both lake & Porter=neighboring IL counties and know them well.

Grace I was not aware such facilities even existed since our ballparks are not in crowded city areas where you can build such a facility across the street -I'm sure he was thrilled
Thanks Karen, he was thrilled! Appreciate you taking time to comment.
