...is the antithesis of where you want to live. If your parents were hemp harvesting stoners and you are Alex P Keaton you move to Wall St.
You want to live where your GRANDparents did -- they were always so much cooler! Plus they'll be close enough to spoil you. You neither of you will tell mom, it'll be "your little secret". Quote:

I may have posted twice on the the Parent Circle. Folks in The Parent Circle were very nice when we were involved a couple of years back. They have a babysitting coop arrangement so that you can trade off with others parents which is nice when you're trying to get comfortable with leaving your little ones. Our elder child will be starting kindergarten at Washington School this autumn. We've meet with the teachers and been very impressed by everything we've seen and heard about the school. Our neighbors with kids in upper grades have nothing but good things to say. The PTA is very active with a great email list; we've been lurking on that this year in preparation. The school/neighborhood is diverse without needing to bring kids to the school from other parts of Evanston and we really value that neighborhood involvement. Other neighbors send their kids to Bessie Rhodes Magnet School and really like it given the particular strengths and needs of their children. It's been characterized as a large home-school setup by some but also sounds interesting. In any case, Evanston has some interesting and varied options, depending on what one is looking for and what one's children need. Hope you continue to find Evanston to be a good fit as you transition in. Last edited by chiados; 07-10-2008 at 08:56 AM.. |

My grandparents lived in Howell Michigan. Again, no thanks!!! Not to mention that fact that my grandparents weren't exactly the warm fuzzy types.

I love this idea. Does The Talking Farm only serve Evanston or will it serve other communities? I know there are other programs like this in Illinois and I have always wanted to try it. |

I tried to finally stop by the farmers market last night but faced a toddler rebellion that nixed that plan which was too bad. There's actually a fun little playground right next to the tennis court area where the vendors set up, and my kids had a great time there last year. |

I guess there are more locations then one for the Farmer's Market in Evanston. I thought it was always on Emerson near Technology Park? Or did it move? I'll have to ask my sister - she goes to the market every weekend so I'll see if she can get me some info. I should also check with our FM and see if there is anything close to us. During the summer and fall it's Ok because we can get our local, fresh produce, but from Nov - mid June we don't have that option. What do they do over the winter? Do they still offer anything? Canned items?
Thanks! Evanston has so much to offer - I know Jay and her family will love it! |
