Aaaaah! Chicago in the summer...is there anything better? Well, yes, I suppose an exotic trip on a private yacht with servants and daily pedicures and cocktails is a bit better...or maybe an end to world hunger? Or how about world peace? Yes well, when you're a starving "artist" and you have just enough money to buy the latest fashion ensemble and forgo rent, then enjoying the two months of heavenly hottest in the city is pure bliss. So why not soak up the sights and sounds of a city summer? And such sights and sounds of my hood include…
- Star-crossed lovers of the same sex looking for some late night sweaty dancing.
- Puppies roaming the city sidewalks, smelling the flowers and one's another's bums.
- Sidewalk cafes, complete with bubble teas, sushi and bus exhaust fumes.
- The feel of the wind whipping through your hair as you walk for your morning latte.
- Frusturated drivers searching for parking, hours on end.
- Parties at every corner bar. Nearly naked men dancing, while others look on sipping on vodka sodas.
- Girlfriends rollerblading down Hawthorne, racing to sunbathe at the lake.
- Kids playing in the area play lot, overlooked by a very large giraffe
- A French market selling flowers, pastries and fresh fruit.
- Summer gatherings of friends on apartment balconies and stoops, laughing, drinking Bud light.

So to my friends and family, I encourage you to give Chi-town in the summertime a try.... The EP Suites, if you can believe this, has availabilities for upcoming summer weekends! Oh and if you get in prior to July 2nd, you get a free showing of Speed the Plow! Now that is a treat!
