and Risky Business give a glimpse of life in this oh-so-exclusive part of the Chicago sprawlReal estate agents and advertisers have pushed the unofficial boundaries of the North Shore to the west a bit--so the town I live in, modest Morton Grove, is now a North Shore suburb.
Which explains how I ended up being profiled, along with four other bloggers, in the September issue of North Shore Magazine. It's the equestrian issue of the magazine that has been "serving Chicago's finest communities since 1978."
Here is my "Claim to Fame," according to the publication:
While Chicago has a full slate of political bloggers, Ruberry has carved himself a niche as one of the North Shore's most relevant Web pundits.
The blurb mentions the Thomas Klocek free speech controversy at DePaul University, my marathon running hobby, and says I post on "politics, politics, and more politics. (And some local news and sports.)
I was interviewed for this article in mid-July, right before I left for Kansas to start my still in-process Kansas Kronikles series, so since then my subject matter, I think so at least, has broadened.
Other blogs profiled are:
Poppy Buxom
Chicago.localvores
Starbucks Gossip
Chaos Digest
There's nothing up yet at North Shore Magazine's site, but if there is an online version up, you'll hear about it here.
I showed the article to Little Marathon Pundit. She's quite proud of me, and she's bringing the magazine to school this morning.
Yes, kids are worth it.
