…Continued from yesterday:
    Miguel and Claire’s apartment-dwelling days are now numbered, as last Thursday they closed on a house.
    Their new soon-to-be residence is a lovely old brick two-story

    in Logan Square, the next neighborhood west of Bucktown, another old tree-lined Chicago neighborhood

    ...with mayhaps just a weence more up-and-coming to do.  But it's nice.

    Their house, which was given an attractive rehabbing a few years ago, has a bright, open interior,  all blonde wood and white walls,

...and a jacuzzi in the upstairs bathroom.
    But as the house hadn't been occupied for quite a while it  was floor-to-ceiling dirty.  So our plan for the weekend was to give it a good scouring.

Taking the alley way.
    That's the elevated train at the end of the alley, an added benefit.
Picture
    Anyway, we each chose our task and got to it.
    Tom took the bathrooms,
Picture
....Miguel the kitchen,
Picture
Picture
...Claire the floors and windows,
Picture
Picture
...and me the walls, ceilings, and fan.

     I checked out the views from some of the windows:

    ...and I thought, "Well, this is city living".

Logan Square is where our Elizabeth lives. She loves it! How exciting for Claire and Miquel.

Oh, hey, Karla, I was telling C&M about Elizabeth living in Logan Square and I was wondering if she lived anywhere nearby. We'll have to chat and find out if our kids live near each other.
