Profile Information
- Favorite thing about living in the Oak Park area
- Just about everything I need is completely walkable, and public transportation is readily available in multiple locations all over the burb. Also, I grew up surrounded by trees, it's refreshing to not live in a cookie-cutter suburb where everything weas built in cornfields or all mature foliage was mowed down.
- Least favorite thing about living in the Oak Park area
- I wish houses were more affordable and parking were not such a major hassle for guests, but I can afford a condo and we generally get by on our 5 overnight passes per person a year, so for now I am content enough :)
- Interests & Hobbies
- Board games, Dungeons and Dragons, reading (mostly Steven King), shopping (yes, so predictable)
- Favorite local restaurant
- New Rebozo
- Favorite local shop or business
- Olive Owl Organics
