Saturday December 10th a new museum will join the roster of entertaining and educating outlets available to Chicago familes. The National Hellenic Museum. I got the chance to preview this beautiful building and sample the wonders that it has to offer to the community. Let me tell you this museum is not your grandmother’s museum, it’s a museum about the ages, but friendly to this technology driven age. I found out their secret plan to go viral from the museums own curator Bethany Fleming. [Read more...]

I found the games to be a great way to inspire them to be knowledgeable drivers in the future. Like the 3D drive games in the Ford arena. [Read more...]

Nonetheless, I have had the great fortune to enjoy the stage from the house as an audience member. Not alone, but with the best theatre dates I can think of… my children. [Read more...]
