Lombard Illinois - Prairie Path - Taking a break today....

 LOMBARD ILLINOIS - PRAIRIE PATH

Taking a break from real estate today, I've been extremely busy, this market is definitely turning around! There are many great deals here, and it seems the buyers are finally getting it!

It's time to take a day and kick back and enjoy our 60 degree day here! The weather has been extremely chilly and it's gorgeous right now!

If you're not familiar with Lombard Illinois, this is just one of many perks we have here, the Illinois Prairie Path.

It's a 62 mile walking/bike path, 25 miles west of Chicago. prairie path

Built in the 1960'S,it was the Chicago, Aurora and Elgin electric railroad. The Prairie Path was the first "rail to trail" conversion of it's kind in the country. The volunteer movement that created it, led by legendary Chicago area naturalist, May Thielgaard Watts, sparked a national trend.

The path starts in Maywood and ends in Elgin. Certain parts have the old fashioned streetlights and it's soooo pretty at night all lit up.

I walk everyday on the path, but today I lingered along enjoying the day, taking pictures, looking at the trees finally blooming for spring, and catching some critters just hanging out.

Lombard is a great place to live! I'll share more of Lombard's great features, but today, I'm taking it easy.

You should too!

Congratulations to the residents of Lombard! A new pool is on the way! The referendum passed, we will have a new pool for years to come!

If you're not familiar with Lombard, it's a great place to live. I've lived here most of my life and hopefully will retire here as well.

We're known as the Lilac Village due to all our gorgeous lilac bushes. Lombard has 18 parks with one being dedicated to the lilacs, called Lilacia Park. Take a stroll downtown and smell the flowers!

The Lombard Park District was one of 36 park districts in the state to be recognized by the Illinois Parks & Recreation Association and the Illinois Association Of Park Districts as a Distinguished Recreation Agency.
