Awesome in the suburbs

Hello!

This is my attempt at a cool new blog. Just an experiment for now, but we'll see how it works. I live with my husband in the Chicago suburbs -- southeast McHenry County to be exact. For now, anyway -- we're moving in July to DuPage County.

I've also lived in Kane County, and he grew up in Cook, so the whole point of this blog is to highlight awesome places in the suburbs -- both well-known and little-known. From restaurants and bars to parks and festivals, I want to cover a wide swath of "stuff." And on that note, I'd love to hear suggestions, raves and personal experiences on the topic.

So ... let's start there, and I'll try to post a few cool places soon -- happy reading and stay awesome!
