Lickity Split – Perfect treats!

"Lickity Split" in Chicago is my idea of perfect. If your favorite dessert is ice cream, as it is mine, you absolutely have to come get a 'concrete'...

About me

About me
Chicago is my chosen home! I moved here from St. Louis in 2003 and decided to stay. Chicago is the place I have developed my career and discovered my passions. As a social worker I have worked hard to establish a consistent self- care routine. Exploring and indulging in all the city has to offer is a major piece of my sanity! I love finding myself on a Saturday afternoon on an impromptu bar crawl with my friends and then wake up on Sundays to train by the lake for triathlons.

Why Chicago
I live in Uptown, a neighborhood that is known for diversity and 4am bars. Located on Lake Michigan, along the Redline and 6 miles north of downtown, it provides me with all the amenities of city living while allowing me to be part of a close-knit neighborhood.

Where else can you find me online?
I am honestly not a lover of social media but consider checking out a recently published book about Chicago; "An American Summer: Love and Death in Chicago". I am mentioned on page 59.
