What’s up Seva Callers?
As some of you may have heard, Seva Call just launched in Chicago!
This is pretty convenient because I just took an amazing trip to Chicago! I was there to visit a friend for the 4th of July weekend.
We went to the beaches around Loyola’s Campus. I finally got to see the famous Bean, and chilled at an outdoor concert a bit. I admired the classy Chicagoans drinking wine and eating Triscuits while listening to early 1900s electronic music
I explored Loyola’s gorgeous campus and hung out with some of the college-goers on the beach. On the 4th, we watched the fireworks launch from Navy Pier — which was just about the best fireworks show I’ve ever seen — while eating Black Diamond Watermelon that a Russian gentleman picked out for me at the local organic mart. (The trick is to hit it and get a hollow sound.) We also watched these street performers jam out on a guitar and trumpet.
Sorry for the crappy photo quality. They were really adorable though. We gave them a handful of quarters because, you know, poor college kids.
But to switch gears real quick, getting around Chicago is so easy! There are no big metro systems in Baltimore or Pittsburgh (where I live with a 25/75 percent split during the year) and I just found the metro super convenient.
If you don’t want to take the metro, you can bike almost anywhere. My butt seriously hurt after the 8 mile bike ride I took one day along the beaches and through the parks. It was wonderful.
Well, I’ve got some keepsakes for my wallet and I look forward to going back.
Chicagoans, kudos to having one of the coolest cities I’ve ever been to. If you are ever in need of help finding local service professionals, hit up Seva Call and we will hook you up, I guarantee it. From Roger’s Park to Andersonville to Downtown, I loved every bit of Chicago.
Thanks for an awesome trip, Chicago.
