Best Italian Ice has to be Flamingo's on Cermak.  Possibly the best ice and ice cream in the mid-west (I have not had better).

Hey Tony,
Just wondering. Your company is selling the house in the 3500 block of Maple Street. Who is supposed to keep up the yard if it's vacant? The real estate company or the owners? The grass has really grown quite high. Everyone else on the block does a pretty good job of keeping their yards neat, but then there's that house. Seems like it might make it harder to sell.

Hello Mr. La,

There seem to be many homes in Berwyn being sold by Hispanics.

Do you know where Hispanics that sell their homes in Berwyn are moving too?

Just curious.

Thanks!

Pioneer,

Thanks for the post. 

State law prohibits me from commenting on race, and nation orgin.

Can you comment on conditions of yards? Re: earlier question...

[tony la]

TAL,

I do keep up yards for people if they want that option.  In this case the owners decided that they wanted to take care of that. 

I certainly can not make somebody do the landscaping if they do not want to do that.

It is just as frustrating for me as anyone.  I live a block away and see it every day.

Tony,

Is there is a particular area that sellers from Berwyn are locating to?  Do you have a number of sellers that are opting for other homes in Berwyn?

Fejes,

Good question.  The statistics that I have are not very accurate.  This is not something that we track.
For every young couple we have that move out of town.  We have a senior that is going into assisted living.  Or a newly retired couple that is going into a over 55 community or out of state.

I do not think it is in any different in any other community.  Even the sellers I have from Orland Park tend to go farther south and west to build bigger.

We seem to draw alot of people from the North side.  Many of the Northsiders stay for some time.
In many communities people move to other communities for a lot of different reasons. Job transfers is one of them.

We still have a lot to offer in this city.  I think that sometimes we are guilty of looking over the hill and seeing greener grass, while not appreciating how green our grass really is.

I for one have lived in Tinley Park and Orland Park. There are some things that are better there and some not as good as it is here. When we get our schools together we will be in good shape.

Mr. La,

   I saw that one of the houses that recently sold was described as having 2.1 bathrooms.  Could you please explain to me what classifies a tenth of a bathroom?

Thanks
