Lessons From Life and Business.     As a father of 6 kids, it has been one of the standing jokes of the family over the years that I am always telling stories about random events and happenings in my life that should be a valuable lesson for them to learn from. Here are a couple examples. I told my daughters for years that I was the smartest guy they will ever know. After numerous boyfriends and one ex-husband, I can confidently say still to this day that I am the smartest guy they have ever known. There are a few challengers to my title at this time. My middle daughter's boyfriend of 10 years+ is very smart. My youngest daughter's fiance is getting his masters degree in education administration to be a school administrator. One of my son's has completed his masters degree in Biology an...

Winnetka North Shore Condo Report If you would like to buy a condo in one of the North Shore villages, some places are easier than others. As you can see from the chart (below) Winnetka, Glencoe, Kenilworth, and even Northfield have had few sales this year.The larger communities of Evanston, Glenview, and Northbrook still have slightly lower sales than in 2019, but they still have most of the inventory. Most condos are selling within a few percentage points of the original list price. Winnetka and Glencoe show that the sale price was higher than the asking price but with just 9 and 3 sales respectively, that's not surprising.  Current inventory and price range for each village: Village Condos for Sale Low Price High Price         Winnetka 2 $235,000 $720,000 Wilmette 7 $279,000 $675,000...
