Thank you Glenda for opening your home to us! You and your mother made us feel quite at home and our kids enjoyed playing with the toys you loaned us. :-) The park by your house was very modern and they wanted to go back and play more than we had time for. We were saddened to hear of the recent issues at Humboldt Park over July 4th - I'm sure all big cities have issues like that and we never felt unsafe when walking near your home during the daytime. (Although we were a little nervous about parking on the street - there was glass on the ground from what appeared to be a recent break-in.) We loved being close to downtown and also to some of the places where my wife grew up like Berwyn and Forest Park. I'm sure we both gained several pounds while eating our way around Chicago! :-) Your Internet connection was quite speedy and allowed me to get some work done in the evenings. Thanks again!
