This was the place where I studied for your exams. This is in the heart of Forest Park area. But the parking is a problem as it is around Chicago area. However, there was a metered parking near the place where I could park my car. This is not a quiet place, but usually space for group studies for t...
One of the first things I look for in any community is the library. This library has a real community feel, mostly because many of the staff live in the community.

My life has changed a lot in the last half decade- I was laid off, found a job again, and had my first child with my wife and bought a house. A lot of big decisions and changes a lot of people go th...
