The house sits among apartments and commercial structures. It is easy to pass by. It is hard to imagine that when it was built, it was all alone on the road.
The house itself was very basic. It was not at all like the Ellwood House. Dad said this house was built before Joseph Glidden became wealthy. They were allowed to tour just a few rooms. Photos were allowed.

The tour wasn't terrible, but it could have been better. The tour guide was very soft spoken and hard to understand at times. She didn't have a script and repeated herself many times.
Do you want to see Buddy's new look?
Isn't he cute? Mama says it is a good thing she has a black scooter because if it was red, the nose of the greyhound would be red. The decal is white and all the background color is Buddy. We think it is perfect. The decal is from Skinny Hounds Designs.
Buddy's back rack arrived yesterday, but we don't have the right tool to install it. We need a metric tool, so there will be a delay in getting it installed. When the back rack is installed, Mama can add a basket to it and then she can carry more shopping bags with her. She only has storage under the seat now and that doesn't carry much.
Mama and Buddy went to town yesterday and they brought us back lunch. Yum!

The Greyhound Who Thinks Buddy's Decal Looks Like Him
Well, the pictures of the house look nice. I love home tours, even the bad ones. Buddy looks super with the new decal. I agree, Joey, it does look like you!
ReplyDeleteWow, Buddy looks so cool with his new look - love it!
ReplyDeleteThat house does look a little basic for tours but it is still nice to look around.

That decal is so super cool! I wish we had something to put a decal on, because I'd be all over that. I'd insist that Mom put one on something super cool!
ReplyDeleteWhile the weather is still nice, your parents should try the architecture tour that goes on the canals through downtown Chicago. They do have dog friendly tours, but they're almost over, I think. But they tell all kinds of really neat history about Chicago!
