One of the things I love about living in Joliet, IL is that for a mere $11.30 ($5 on the weekends) I can jump on the Metra and enjoy the delights of Chicago and come right back home again. There are benefits to living so close to the third largest city in the nation!
A particularly delightful excursion includes a trip to Briar Street Theater to see the Blue Man Group. Tonight, I'm not taking the Metra, instead I will pile on a bus and accompany an excited group of high school students to a show that never fails to entertain, provoke and provide laughs galore.
As a former high school teacher, I love this annual adventure. The students who have been to the show try to explain the performance to the others, with mixed results. If you have never experienced the Blue Man Group live, it is a hard show to describe.
So for an evening, I will not think about real estate, but instead be transported to another world. . .one where a plastic poncho just might be necessary! (If you have been in the front row during a performance, you will understand this reality!)
However, tomorrow, if you are searching for a dream home that is merely a train ride away from the fabulous city of Chicago, consider the Joliet area. . . it is convenient, affordable and offers some terrific real estate choices!

I caught the BlueMan group while there were on tour here in Missoula, MT! If you have not gone to a live show....GO!!!! It was AMAZING!!!!`
Good morning Lori- Have a great time at the BlueMan group. I wish we had some type of train system like your Metra here in Tampa, it would sure save on gas.
Clint -- Agreed! The show is amazing. . .this will be my fourth or fifth time going, I love to see the reactions of the kids who have never been before --- priceless!!!
Pam -- I love the Metra, makes it soooo easy to get downtown and play. I is way better than driving and parking!
our idea of culture is far from this - how exciting - beats karokee at the local tavern
Thesa -- Come on, I'm sure the voices at the local tavern are divine. . .seriously, we are fortunate to have Chicago so close!
Lori, not acquainted with the Blue people but love the idea that public transportation is so viable and makes traveling to the Big City so enticing. That is always a plus when thinking of where to live. Can't wait to hear more about these Blue people.
