The Windy City

 Cal and Hannah-Marie had a chance to go to Chicago this past weekend for one last getaway before she left for IU.  They stayed at Jayce's apartment in Wrigleyville which gave them a birds eye view of all that Chicago had to offer once Cal makes the move there.  They both were impressed with the area as there were a lot of restaurants, bars and much more close at hand.  Cal said that they saw very few adults over the age of forty while they were there.  It almost felt like a college town for young people who worked.  Chicago has a strict mask and social distancing mandate, which cut down a little bit on the crowds. 

While they were there they also checked out Wrigley Field and loved the atmosphere even though fans were not allowed in the game.  Jeremy had been living there since June and he said that the rioting, protesting and shootings in Chicagoo that have made the news lately have all occured south of him.  Therefore, they don't affect his daily routine and he really only hears about them from the same sources that we do.  Overall, Cal was pleased with Wrigleyville and hopes to start looking for a studio apartment in the area in November.  His job at Plante Moran doesn't start until January 4th, so he has some time to research the different complexes.  It sounds like it should be a lot of fun.
