Where to Eat: Charleston

Where to eat: Charleston
July 9, 2019July 8, 2019 ~ So Maggie Says ~ Leave a comment

I’ve been visiting Charleston on a regular basis for longer than I’d really care to share. Over that time the city has become a serious foodie haven. I have my long time stand-bys and must visits. But with every visit, I find a new place to try. Here’s a little run down of where to … Continue reading Where to Eat: Charleston

Hyde Park

June 1, 2019June 2, 2019 ~ So Maggie Says ~ 1 Comment

Hyde Park is out of the way for the average trip to Chicago. There are a few reasons to make the trek (I’m a Northsider – it’s a trek!). My number one reason to encourage visitors to make of day it is to get you out of downtown and into a real Chicago neighborhood. Hyde … Continue reading Hyde Park

5 books about the Great American Road Trip

March 30, 2019June 2, 2019 ~ So Maggie Says ~ 1 Comment

I recently had to put together some ideas for a Midwest road trip for work. It doesn't happen often that I do anything travel related. But it got me thinking about a road trip, around the Midwest or out West. These books will either inspire you or satisfy your need to hit the road. 1. … Continue reading 5 books about the Great American Road Trip

Dublin’s EPIC Museum

March 10, 2019June 2, 2019 ~ So Maggie Says ~ Leave a comment

EPIC is a new museum in Dublin, opened in the last few years that tells the story of emigration from Ireland. Yep – it’s telling the story of people leaving the country. This was the main attraction I did in Dublin when there last fall. The museum is incredibly well done. John Hammond may be … Continue reading Dublin’s EPIC Museum

Austin Street Art

February 16, 2019March 9, 2019 ~ So Maggie Says ~ Leave a comment

Austin has some amazing street art. Here's a little of what I saw when there a few weeks ago. I'm going to count this one. It's PacMan! Definitely not street art, but a sculpture of Willie Nelson on the street is pretty cool. This is in front of Austin City Limits, which he helped launched. … Continue reading Austin Street Art

How to bundle up for a Chicago winter

February 11, 2019 ~ So Maggie Says ~ Leave a comment

Living in Chicago means living up to the hardiness that others outside Chicago, especially people from the South and West, and often other countries. I've heard questions about how to dress for Chicago, how to prepare yourself for it. Preparation Tip #1: the City of Chicago does not shut down for snow or cold. Another … Continue reading How to bundle up for a Chicago winter

Pictures of bicycles

January 29, 2019February 10, 2019 ~ So Maggie Says ~ 3 Comments

Everything outside is covered in snow and its bitter cold. So I was going through photos and noticed a theme. Life is a beautiful ride.   Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of riding a bike. - John F. Kennedy The bicycle is a curious vehicle. Its passenger is its engine. - John Howard Truly, … Continue reading Pictures of bicycles

Four Days in Belfast, Northern Ireland

September 10, 2018June 23, 2019 ~ So Maggie Says ~ Leave a comment

I initially heard comments, before leaving for two weeks in Ireland, and while there, about going to Belfast. As one tour guide in Belfast said, twenty years earlier they were one of the three B's you didn't visit: Baghdad, Beirut, and Belfast. I did not do much prep before going there. Why I included Belfast … Continue reading Four Days in Belfast, Northern Ireland

Milwaukee in a day

July 30, 2018January 12, 2019 ~ So Maggie Says ~ Leave a comment

It may seem odd since I grew up in Chicago, and have been back for a few years now, but I have never been to Milwaukee. I've been elsewhere in Wisconsin, just never Milwaukee. A day trip with Wanderful Chicago seemed like a great way to experience the city. We started the day on the … Continue reading Milwaukee in a day
