MY FAVORITE THINGS

Having grown up in Chicago and its surrounding North Shore communities, I've had the chance to explore some incredible places that make this area so special. From scenic parks and hidden nature trails to charming restaurants and cultural gems, I've discovered plenty of local favorites over the years. I wanted to share my experiences and highlight some of the best things to do in these vibrant communities — whether you're a lifelong resident or just visiting, there's always something new to explore!
