Welcome to Chicago, Ron Rosenbaum

Pajamas Media blogger and columnist Ron Rosenbaum is moving to Chicago for while, as he's accepted the Vare Fellowship on non-fiction writing at the University of Chicago, one time stomping ground of Sen. Barack Obama, the late Milton Friedman, and Enrico Fermi.

From his Pajamas Media post, it appears Rosenbaum will be living near the U. of C. campus. The lakefront running trail is great, and there are a lot neat little books stores in the Hyde Park neighborhood. Parking is a problem though, and Ron, you can forget about finding a decent supermarket to shop in nearby.

Chicago has two baseball teams, one of which is professional, the Chicago White Sox who play a few miles to the east of campus.

And Ron, if you have any health-care issues, just contact Barack Obama's wife Michelle, who is the vice president for community and external affairs at the highly-regarded University of Chicago Hospital.
