Recently updated lists from Beth M.

A Midwesterner in Montreal (11) We visited Montreal during December of 2009. Here are some places we went:	New Mexico Getaway (Taos, Santa Fe, & Albuquerque) (21) "If you ever go to New Mexico, it will itch you for the rest of your life." ~ Georgia O'Keeffe, 1960
Where the Hotties Are (18) My mama always said, "You never stop looking til you die." Even though I'm married, I still have a pulse and can spot a hot guy when I see one. PS - I am not open for business. Here are some places that hotties have been spotted:	Antiquing My Way Through Michiana (11) The Chicago Reader article "Beyond New Buffalo" inspired me to go on an antiquing trip with my mom & sister in Southwest Michigan & Northwest Indiana. Bargains and bonding made this trip memorable! I plan to go back in a month or two.
Bye Bye Buena Park (15) I lived in BP for nearly 4 years and will always hold a special place in my heart for this great neighborhood.	THE BANNED LIST (8) It's not you, it's me. I don't like places that suck.
Oh snap! I have to entertain a 5 year old! (14) I do not have any children but I have 3 adorable nieces and 1 cutie-patootie nephew. Entertaining a child in Chicago is not as easy as you think but here are some ideas:	Mini-Vay-K to Michigan! Great Lakes, Great Times! (7) You live in Chicago, right? I can tell because you look TIRED, STRESSED, and OVER-WORKED. Take a mini-vay-k! Just over an hour drive from Chicago and you can be in southwest Michigan where you can visit wineries, hit up the casino, and GET THE HELL OUT OF CHICAGO. And be honest, don't you love those http://michigan.org commercials?
South Side + Lost + Hungry (10) I'm lost on the South Side and hungry. Where should I eat?	I'm Hungry but I'm By Myself (11) All my friends are working/busy and I want to go somewhere to eat/drink! There's no shame in my game.
