When you're trying to get a real estate deal done, the transaction costs and complexity are staggering, and you often find yourself questioning whether everyone involved should be profiting. You also sometimes find yourself Googling how things work to try to maintain a sense of control and keep things moving. It's rare to find a professional who not only gives you confidence that you're in good hands, but adds so much tangible value through her empathy, savvy, market insight, and network of all the other players you need - whether it's mortgage professionals, stagers, even cleaning…Read more When you're trying to get a real estate deal done, the transaction costs and complexity are staggering, and you often find yourself questioning whether everyone involved should be profiting. You also sometimes find yourself Googling how things work to try to maintain a sense of control and keep things moving. It's rare to find a professional who not only gives you confidence that you're in good hands, but adds so much tangible value through her empathy, savvy, market insight, and network of all the other players you need - whether it's mortgage professionals, stagers, even cleaning people - that you never question her contribution. I'm a deal maker at work and I like to think I'm pretty good at figuring things out myself, but I've leaned to relax, give Lynn my parameters, and trust her implicitly. You cannot put a price on peace of mind. I cannot speak highly enough of her.

Playing Pokemon Go has made me realized that how great parks in Chicago are!  

For those who don't give a d*mn about this game, please exercise your selective reading skill because you won't like this review as much.  I have to pass by Portage Park almost daily because I live in this neighborhood, but I had never felt the desire of coming to this place, walking 5km and more, and looking for Rhyhorn to catch until the inauguration of Pokemon Go mobile game

Beside the benefit of playing Pokemon safely without worrying about getting hit by a car (though be aware of some fast bikers flying through your shoulder), Portage Park has a well-kept outdoor swim pool, a baseball field, a dog park, a kids playground, and FREE PARKING near Belle Plaine entrance.  

They occasionally host concerts and movie nights, so there's something for everyone in the family to do here.  

Hey, hey, my Pokemon discussion isn't yet finished.  There are approximately fifteen (15) poke stops, two (2) gyms, and enough opportunities for players to hatch eggs by walking around the park.  Ummm...I also see "stoners" frequently enjoying their solitude near the "Natural Habitat Areas."  

That's good that these pokemons are digitally programmed.  Otherwise, who wants a pidgey or a Gastly to disturb the fun?  Or have a Jigglypuff serenade when hot couple are making out on the bench...not so fabulous in my opinion.  

"Portage Ground" coffee shop on Irving Park and "Mia's Cafe" on Central are nearby, helping complete the entire experience of park excursion.

I love this place and they are delicious! I don't understand why they close so early. Apparently, they don't care about their customers! Horrible business operations!
