I walk past this building every time I go to the chiropractor. It's the home of the Sidley Austin law firm.
In 1989, lawyer Michelle Robinson met a promising summer intern named Barack Obama. Here.
When I go to Springfield, I see a plaque on the site of Globe Tavern, where Abe Lincoln and Mary spent their honeymoon.
In Georgetown, Martin's Tavern has a plaque where JFK proposed to Jackie.
I wonder if, someday, this building won't be recognized for its historic significance.
Right here. In my town. How cool is that!
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
Ah--that's so cool!!!
