The Book Market in The Glen. Books. Gifts. (And…a Puppet Theater?)

by

Ask anyone in The Glen (in Glenview Illinois) about our local book store, and you’ll hear rave reviews.  “The Book Market at Hangar One” in Glen Town Center features new releases, bestsellers, bargain books, educational toys, gifts, soft seating, free family events, a kid’s corner, and a place to study or read.  So, not only is it a cool place to find great books, but it’s also a wonderful place for kids, families and fun.

I’ve always loved book stores.  I enjoy looking through the shelves to find something new or maybe a book I somehow missed.  I can’t tell you how many times in the 15 years I’ve lived in The Glen that I’ve spent a lazy hour or two hanging out in The Book Market exploring, reading and just relaxing.  I’ve also done some shopping, especially for my son when he was a little tyke.

And speaking of little tykes, it’s also such a fun place for kids.  Every month the Book Market sponsors a Puppet Theater.  The next one is at 11 a.m. on Saturday, October 13 featuring Al. E. Gator & Friends.  Other upcoming puppet programs include Dragon Days and Knight Time and The Shoemaker & Elves and the Night Before Christmas.  Another monthly event is Story Time, an interactive themed book reading.

So, whether you’re looking for books or gifts or for a fun place for children, The Book Market is the place for you.  And if you’re looking for a great place to live, consider The Glen.  We have upscale homes of every kind including single family homes, townhomes, duplexes, two-flats and condos.  Home prices range from the $330s to over $2 million.

Give me a call or send me an email.  I am an award-winning Realtor and Glen homeowner.

Convenience

by

Unless you live in a very small town, odds are that you need to drive to most everything. Contrast that with the convenience of The Glen in Glenview Illinois where residents can walk to shopping, dining, recreation, entertainment, public transportation and even medical care.

Glen Town Center, walkable from any home in The Glen, is The Glen’s “main street” filled with restaurants, ice cream parlors, coffee shops, a book store, Arclight Movie Theater and tons of shopping in stores large and small.

But that’s only the tip of the iceberg. Consider this. Folks lucky enough to live in The Glen can also walk to two golf courses. Two! And to Gallery Park’s jogging trails, tennis courts and fishing in Lake Glenview. Take the kids to Kohl Children’s Museum or Funtopia or to The Book Market’s Puppet Theater and Story Time.

Walk to Park Center, our local fitness facility that also offers basketball courts, pre-school and summer camps. We have an award-winning middle school here in The Glen, too. And in summer time residents walk to our several festivals and to our weekly summer outdoor concerts.  If you want to go to Chicago‘s many attractions (or to work) just stroll over to our Metra train station.

The Glen also has many doctors, dentists and even a fully functioning health clinic.

Does all of this sound too good to be true? Well, unless you live here it probably does. If you are interested in living in The Glen please give me a call. I am a long time Glen homeowner and a Realtor selling Glen homes.

The Glen during the holidays is magical, especially in Glen Town Center, our retail hub with upscale restaurants and shopping galore.  You’ll quickly notice the colorful lighting and the shops filled with seasonal gifts you can’t find anywhere else.  And there are special events for the kids, two of which I’ll highlight below.

OK, now for the special events for the kids.  The Book Market (a great bookstore!) will host Santa’s Craft Corner on December 17 and a terrific puppet show, The Shoemaker and the Elves, from 11am to 11:45am on December 28.  You’ll need to register online at http://www.theglentowncenter.com/events soon.  The Book Market is located at 2651 Navy Boulevard in the heart of Glen Town Center.

New things to see and do in The Glen

by

Glen Town Center in Glenview, Illinois is The Glen’s shopping, dining and commercial “main street”. You’ll find scores of restaurants, shops and great things to do all within a short walk of any of The Glen’s luxury homes. Of course they’re all open to the general public as well.

During the winter holiday season Glen Town Center really comes alive with lighted trees, holiday music, and fun special events for the entire family. One of the great events that all Glen homeowners and residents enjoy is the annual visit by Santa. On Sunday, December 14th the old guy is available for photos from 1 p.m. until 4 p.m. in the Book Market. Just bring a smile and camera…there’s no cost.

Two new stores are coming soon to Glen Town Center.

Wet Nose (what a name…right?!) is billed as a “pawtique” that focuses on the health and well-being of our 4-legged friends. The website, www.wetnose.com tells us that it was created for dogs and cats that are considered members of the family. The store will offer all natural foods and over 250 gourmet treats. It will also sell pet toys, chews, and collars.

The Flavor Pot (another great name!) is intended to be “a culinary exploration studio” that will offer cooking classes, workshops, private parties, and corporate events. A kick-off event is scheduled at the Book Market on Saturday, December 13 from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. You’ll be able to create “gifts-in-a-jar” with the Flavor Pot providing all of the ingredients and instructions.

What great new additions to the glen!
