“What’s happened here (in The Glen) is unbelievable”,  actor Joe Mantegna

by

In the relatively early days of The Glen (2002), a very cool movie was filmed here, Uncle Nino, starring Chicago native Joe Mantegna and Golden Globe winner Anne Archer. The location scout told the Chicago Tribune, “The producer wanted a setting that looked like the perfect all-American dream neighborhood.”  They found it in the Southgate On the Glen neighborhood.  Joe Mantegna told the Trib, ““This whole place is almost like a movie set. I had been here when it was the naval air station. But what’s happened is unbelievable.” The movie shot here for more than three weeks with many locals used as extra, and it was released in 2003.  Uncle Nino can be purchased at Amazon, and Amazon Prime members can watch it for free.  The following is from Roger Ebert’s review:

“The loudest danger signal for Uncle Nino, after he arrives from Italy to visit his dead brother’s family, is that the wine comes from a cardboard box with a spigot. There are other problems. The nephew and his wife are both working too hard, the kids are on the edge of rebellion, and the household has no dog. Obviously, a family in crisis; obviously, Uncle Nino is the solution. He will return them all to their old-world roots, and reawaken their sense of family.”    

The Glen in Glenview is still a dream neighborhood, actually several neighborhoods each with its own distinct architecture and personality.  We have single family homes, townhomes, row homes, duplexes, two-flats and condos.  Home prices range from the high $300s to over $2 million.  To learn more, give me a call.

Tap, Tap, Tap – Kids in The Glen

by

At first, I heard what sounded like tapping.  I was walking from my Glen home in the Tower Crossing neighborhood near Glen Town Center to Your Pie, the neighborhood pizza joint.  As I got a little closer to Glen Town Center the tapping sounded more like knocking.  I looked to the right, and by now the tapping/knocking had become pounding.  And then I saw her.  A little girl seemingly attacking the front door of Funtopia, a children’s indoor playhouse of sorts.  She wanted in!  It was nearly time to open, and she just couldn’t wait!

So, why do I tell you this?  Well, because The Glen in Glenview Illinois is a fun place for kids to grow up and have fun in a safe environment.  We have beautiful neighborhoods with upscale homes, numerous restaurants, great shopping…and a lot of cool stuff for our children.  In addition to Funtopia, you’ll find Kohl Children’s Museum filled with all kinds of activities for younger kids.  At Color Me Mine creativity and fun reign.  It’s a paint your own pottery fantasy land where kids with their parents or pals select a piece of pottery, paint whatever they want on it, then come back a few days later after the store has fired it up to create a one of a kind masterpiece.  Glen Town Center is also a place for ice cream and the movies.  The Glen also offers parks, playgrounds, sports fields and much more.

For kids and parents alike, living in The Glen is about as good as it gets.  We have single family homes, townhomes, row homes, duplexes, two-flats and condos.  Home prices range from the $300’s to $2 million.  I’m a very fortunate Glen homeowner, and my husband and I have raised our son here.  If you may be interested in this kind of wonderful living for your family, please email me atmargaretludemann@gmail.com or call me at 847-401-1802.  I am a top producing Realtor living in and focusing my practice in The Glen.
