Come spend two months in our beautiful, renovated home, one block away from Lake Michigan, less than a mile from Northwestern University. Evanston is a progressive city with restaurants galore, art galleries, coffee houses, and much more. Our cat, Gracie, is a rescued Tuxedo who is smart, funny, and quite lovely. She's been in our family for almost three months (since August 2025) and has settled into her new digs. Like any cat, she'll need a playful human. At the moment, she loves her cat condo. Aside from basic daily cat-related responsibilities, it will be smooth sailing. We have lots of plants to water and possibly snow to shovel. We'd like to get regular texts with photos and/or video. Chicago is right around the bend, with a train a few short blocks away, if you don't have a car. Enjoy theater, dance, music, and museums. You can't beat spending time in the #1 large U.S. city. read more
