Two weeks to go!

John, if you read this, I was wondering if the route be the same as last year's, or any changes? I ask because there's a house in Oak Park, near North and Oak Park that might be a cool spot to swing by. I don't know if there's a story behind it, just cool to look at. Very space age.

...to follow up.....It's the Kirsch home. It's on Greenfield (no pun intended), a few blocks east of Oak Park. Greenfield is a few blocks south of North Ave.

I found these 2 tidbits on a blog. The architect is Errol Jay Kirsch. He designed the home, and had it built as his personal residence in 1979. It is one of the early solar homes. Not much information, but upon seeing the house...it kinda speaks for itself. One of the links above has pics.

The architects firm has a website, but not much info on it.

Hope this helps.
