I do a lot of thinking about the economy these days. I’m sure most of us do. As I drive around Chicago and all the suburbs I can’t help but notice the traffic seems the same as always. Contrary to popular belief though I think that is great! Why? well if we were in an area where there were barely any people driving around going to work or shopping we would be in a very depressed place.

The economy in the Chicago area is down sure but all the action on the roads seems to point to things not being as bad as they could be. One good example that I pointed out while doing an open house in Calumet City last week is the new Buffalo Wild Wings on Torrence ave. Does my heart good to see an empty restaurant get turned into a new one.

So instead of beeping at all the cars in your way while cruising through town…say to yourself, this place is rockin’.
