Wow .. I would love to come to this. I've never been to a meetup. We live in the northern suburbs. Sometimes the idea of getting downtown seems insurmountable. But I would love to meet you. I'll keep an eye on the meetup thread and maybe I can figure out a way to be there. Safe travels!
Kangaroo: What suburb do you live in? I may be able to offer some logistical help - I lived in the northern suburbs for quite a while before moving to the city proper.
Well, Kangaroo, I'm going to make sure to go to Skokie to a deli I have been missing, so maybe we can have lunch/snack if it's easier to get to that way? I have another friend (from #bunnies) who lives in Skokie.
We live in Lincolnshire, right between Highland Park and Lake Forest. It's not that I don't know how to get into the city, just that finding someone who can watch my kid and actually committing to doing it is hard sometimes. But I will seriously give it a try for this.
Ooooooohhhhh Skokie I can do! And I love delis! Chances are good that I can do this. I realize now I won't make the actual meetup as my hubby will be overseas for work that week. But a deli in Skokie .. hopeful.
Right off 94 on Dempster! Used to go there as a kid on the way from MI to Chicago to Milwaukee. NOM. Corned beef sandwich, pickle, cookies from the bakery side. YUM. I've been jonesing for it since I remembered about it sometime last winter.
