Andersonville Arts Festival

On Saturday the family and I went to Andersonville.   This neighborhood is about 5 minutes from our house in Chicago.  It was great walking around Andersonville and visiting the mom and pop stores.   I find these locally owned businesses so much more interesting and fun than your typical chain stores.  I'll pay 10-15% more to make sure these businesses continue.  These type of places are all over Chicago and really make this city great.   It was another great Fall day and am hoping the weather continues to stay this way.  Here is to surviving another work week.
