We headed to Chicago right after arriving in Detroit from DC on April 30th to help Dustin and Carol combine all their belongings into one residence - 1164 N. Milwaukee, a large loft space on the top floor of a building with a rather odd little bookstore on the street level. The Occult Bookstore and all of its witchcraft and voodoo dolls aside, the apartment was a great find in Noble Square! Tons of space and terrific views of downtown Chicago!
Although we arrived on Saturday, the landlord wasn't ready for them to move in until 1:30 on Sunday, May 1st. So, we had a nice evening having Korean food and enjoying a restful night's sleep before the move began. We spent the first part of Sunday running errands and loading up the truck and car. The Ikea delivery guys arrived early and Ron and Dustin helped them haul numerous heavy large boxes up the eight flights of stairs. Once we were able to begin moving in, it was decided that Ron would put the furniture together; Carol, Dustin and Chris Carrow would haul boxes from the old apartments; and I would work on unpacking and putting things away.
I believe the aches and pains of the initial move are gone and the two have settled into living together. They have set up a very nice and comfortable space for themselves. I believe I heard them say that visitors are welcome at any time!
