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.

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.
