We missed a weekend in there while I was out in Washington D.C. and Matt was travelling to Boston. But we're back!
We originally drew a card for a walk in South Chicago, but having read and listened to the news over the weekend (and having received work that needed to be done over the weekend) we selected a walk a bit closer -- the Broadway Street walk. This walk was less interesting than our first, for a couple of reasons. First, we live in the neighborhood, so we've seen most of the places on the card. Second, unlike our last walk, all of the locations were shops or restaurants. Not so many cultural sights on Broadway between Diversey and Addison.
We did, however, stop at Windy City Sweets. We got a pecan/chocolate treat, a peanut butter truffle thing, and a s'mores-like creation. (Okay, none of those are very descriptive.) The first two were alright, but the s'mores creation was delicious. The chocolates were quite expensive, though -- we spent nearly $10 on those three!
We also took a detour and went to our very first open house. We checked out a beautiful loft just a few blocks north of us in Lakeview, with exposed brick, high ceilings, and exclusive roof rights. Even though we're not ready to buy a place yet, it was fun to start daydreaming.
See you next week!

Windy City Sweets is one of my favorite places in the whole city. The ice cream is FANTASTIC and I love that it feels like you're on a boardwalk when you walk in.
T, I will have to try the ice cream there next time. We had already stopped for an Italian ice at Bobtail so we didn't get any at Windy City.
