There is a little old man who lives in my high rise building in Chicago. He has lived in the building for many years. He is always very friendly to everyone he passes as he wanders around the large premises seemingly with nowhere to go.
He is always meticulously dressed in casual clothes. He is constantly smiling at all the people he sees. He really seems to be at peace with the world. I used to see him walking around with his wife, holding hands and talking talking softly with her. It seemed they were treasuring each moment knowing they were not going to be forever. Then, I heard she died. That was about three years ago. Now, he a is all alone but obviously content.
I only saw one thing unusual in all my nine years of observing him. He was walking with someone who I think was his daughter. She was saying rather loudly."you have to go" and he was protesting firmly "I don't want to go anywhere". Then, I passed and heard no more. I do not even know the name of this sweet elder gentleman. But, I am so envious of him

Brazzaz Brazilian Steakhouse on Dearborn St in Chicago Great Place
I recently ate dinner with a friend at Brazzaz Brazilian Steakhouse. I had purchased a Groupon for $25.00 providing $50.00 of food. Unfortunately, I printed out the receipt instead of the actual coupon. When it came time to pay the bill the people at Brazzaz could not accept the receipt. They said I needed the actual coupon.
So, I was stuck. Two people on the staff, Carlos and Samra were amazingly sympathetic. They tried to print the coupon and tried to figure out whatever else anyone could think of . No luck.
Finally, my friend made a plea to these two concerned people to give us a break and just give us a reduction on the bill. They did!! Just because they cared. So, hats off to you Brazzaz at 539 N. Dearborn St. in Chicago, Il. # 312-595-9000 email info@brazzaz.com
You have wonderful employees especially the two who went above and beyond the call of duty to relieve our stress. We will be back for more of your wonderful food that I could not get enough of. I must have gained 3 lbs at one sitting. It was a great time..

Go To Lincoln Station Bar and Restaurant in Chicago
Lincoln Station 773-472-8100
Lincoln Park's Favorite Neighborhood Bar & Grill
This is one fine sports bar and restaurant. A friendly atmosphere, lots of T.V's great food with economical daily specials, a big, comfortable bar with a huge selection of beer and wine. It's located at 2432 N. Lincoln Ave. in Chicago right next to the hot intersection of Lincoln, Fullerton, and Halsted.
It is popular and they do get busy but never too busy to give their customers TLC. I have alway felt comfortable there and I'm a little older then most of the regulars and new customers.
Try their dynamite chicken wings or hamburgers. They also deliver. Check out this fun, relaxing establishment. You will be happy you did.
