 Dear JABBERS: I hope you all are enjoying your summer! My family and I arrived in Chicago on Friday night, checked into our hotel and wandered into nearby Evanston. We ended up at a small, funky pizza joint called Union Pizza.

While we were eating, the woman at the next table turned and said something to my kids. We started talking and the woman turned out to be both a Miami and a Chicago JABBER! A University of Miami graduate, Rebecca Hoffman now lives in Chicago with her husband and two children. Thank you, Rebecca, for your support and for the great Chicago travel tips! Happy JABBING!
