I returned last night from a whirlwind three day trip to Chicago. My main mission was to secure the lease for our new shop. Mission accomplished. Thanks to our friend Alby Van Alyea and broker Diana Rendina for making it a fun and smooth process. And a special thanks to our new landlord and his enthusiastic wife for taking a liking (from afar) to us. We look forward to meeting the both of you soon.
I'm not yet ready to reveal the neighborhood or the specific address, but I am willing to play twenty questions over the next few days. So, if you want to play, just ask me yes or no question here in the blog. I will answer in a timely manner. The one who guesses the street and neighborhood will win a Dutch Bike Seattle T-shirt, illustrated by
Ed Fotheringham (cartoonist/illustrator whose work can be seen in The New Yorker). Friends and family are not eligible. And no, Ed McMahon will not be coming to your door with an million dollar check from Publisher's Clearinghouse.

Know that she is alive and well, and busy with many other priorities. We had a beer together with our friend Terry, Tuesday night while I was in Chicago.
my location question is: is it within five miles of the museum of science & industry? (that's the only neighborhood I'm at all familiar with)
No, it is not within 5 miles of that museum.
Is it on a street that leads directly into the Loop? Maybe even on a bike-laned street?
If I can drop a slight hint...no, it's not near the Museum of Science and Industry. Think North side :)
Matt, the answer to your first question is no and the answer to your second question is yes.
Exciting!
Congratulations! Now we must make an excuse to go to Chicago and check out the shop. My Chicago geography is lacking so I won't even try to guess.
Hope all is well,
Anne
And yes Dorothy. It is one of those streets.
You're both winners.
Just email (info at dutchbikeseattle dot com) me your shirt size preferences and address. They are American Apparel organic cotton T's and I have them in M, L and XL. Or, if you like you can pick them up from the shop once we arrive in two weeks.
