Russian Tea Time
Chicago is the home of countless fantastic places in which to eat. Every time I am able to be in the city, I find an array of places that look divine. It is impossible to have bored tastebuds. Recently, for a Russian friends birthday party, I went to Russian Tea Time.
Waiting… and waiting.
I am in eighth grade and even though the school year isn’t over yet, I’m thinking about going to high school. Just about the only thing on my mind now is, “Where am I going?” This is where the waiting comes in. I can’t stand waiting for the dreadful letter to come to my mailbox. I [...]
Miss Lori and The CAMPUS Kids have Summer and Camps on the mind
Hard to believe with all of the snow on the ground, but Summer is just around the corner! For many parents just like me that means research, phone calls, lines, waiting and registration, all for CAMP. My kids are looking at Columbia Fine Arts camp, basketball camp, museum camp and more.

The other day, I was reading Chicago Magazine when I came upon an article talking about what adults believe it takes in order to be considered a Chicagoan. It stated that one had to know what all four stars on the Chicago flag meant, have pride in the grid system, and live here for at [...]
Life Under the Police Cameras
As a resident of the West Side, it’s hard not to notice the police cameras at numerous corners. There are also other neighborhoods in which cameras are located. However, the question is: Do these cameras make people feel safer? Some people believe that they do while others believe they don’t. One thing is for sure [...]
