While visiting Chicago, I had the pleasure of visiting the Field Museum of Natural History on St. Patrick’s Day. What? Thought I may be wasting the day away over green beer?

Searching an MLS for HUD homes can lead to let down and disappointment because the official place wasn’t highly known to most.
