Insanely great Naperville house, now even cheaper
Yes, that’s right: I still own a house in Illinois. No, I’m not happy about it. Yes, I want to sell it to you. The price is now down over 20% from where we listed it in May - and we were underpriced for our neighborhood back then!
Details are all over at the “realtor’s site”:http://www.bairdwarner.com/75457629. [...]
Home for sale in Naperville, Illinois
Our house in Naperville has been on the market for a little over two months, and now that we’re finally starting to settle into our home in California, I wanted to take a few minutes to tell you about the home we left. I’d love to sell the house - two mortgage payments are never [...]
Naperville profiled on Colbert Report
Sort of, anyway. In his “Hometown Hero Town” spot, Stephen glowingly reviewed Naperville for a recent “news story”:http://www.dailyherald.com/story.asp?id=309705 that profiled a tow truck service to tow you and your car home if you’re drunk. As Stephen noted, the cost is $85, but it’s $65 if you have a reservation. “Finally, folks, you can schedule your [...]
Naperville Riverwalk Amphitheater
Took a walk this morning with Robin and the kids, and I loved how the shadows of the trees showed up in contrast with the brick labyrinth pattern at the Riverwalk Amphitheater. (Original photo, with larger sizes, is “here”:http://www.flickr.com/photos/rklau/486802669/.)
Disclosure: the camera I’m using for the next few months, the Nikon D80, is a loaner from [...]
Naperville needs Democrats
I couldn’t stop chuckling at “this article”:http://www.suburbanchicagonews.com/napervillesun/news/362818,6_1_NA29_DURBIN_S1.article in yesterday’s Naperville Sun:
With Democrats controlling all three prongs of Illinois government - the House, the Senate and the governor’s administration - Naperville needs an insider to fight for the city, Mayor George Pradel said.
“It makes so much sense (having) Democrats down there,” Pradel said. “They know [...]
Turk on Thompson
One of the highlights for me at Politics Online a few weeks back was meeting Michael Turk. “Turk”:http://www.kungfuquip.com/about-turk/ was the eCampaign chair for the Bush/Cheney ‘04 campaign, and held a similar role at the GOP. In a panel discussing online campaign tactics, Turk consistently made sharp points, showed a depth of understanding of the need [...]
Eric Zorn v. Ann Althouse
I am so disappointed I can’t make it to “this event”:http://noctrl.edu/x20290.xml tonight in Naperville; it would be a blast to listen to both talk about how blogs can influence the debate.
Eric - enjoy your visit to our fair city!
Stepping down
I recently stepped down as Chair of the Naperville Democrats. This was a really tough decision to make, as I remain convinced that the local party needs to be a visible part of the local scene. But it’s that commitment that made me realize I’m no longer the right guy for the job: as we [...]
Naperville Yard Sales
Wow. I think I just made “Betsy’s”:http://www.croncast.com/ day (year?). “NapervilleYardSales.com”:http://www.napervilleyardsales.com/ is a combination Craig’s List and clearinghouse of info about upcoming yard sales. Brilliant idea - the site’s well built and it’s going to help me clear out a bunch of stuff that’s been hanging around the house for the past several months. They’ve got [...]
Local media training
One Man was on TV the other night, and complained that instead of saying something intelligible, he was quoted as saying this: “Aurora lost something unique to town, We don’t have a whole lot other towns next to us don’t have. It’s depressing.” He really is a Republican! (If One Man can crack the [...]
