There were lots of things in Chicago I am more than glad to leave behind.... but I still occasionally miss the house I lived in for 5 out of 10 years. Located in the Portage Park neighborhood in Chicago (a heavily populated Polish neighborhood!) it was quiet, tree-lined and had rows of bungalow houses. Bonus: I had an international market just blocks away that I shopped for all my groceries. I was super-spoiled. Ok, so I stole this photo from the internet. This is what my neighborhood looked like though! My neighborhood was even named one of the top 12 neighborhoods to live in Chicago last year. So here we are - step into my little retro bungalow, just for old time's sake. Everyone knows I love orange. These photos aren't 100% spectacular but they are all I have that are this comprehensive and recent of the house. Taken in February 2014. Living room looking to the road. That couch got so destroyed by the cats! Archway ...
