The Goddess of Rogers Park!
I spent my formative years in Rogers Park. 1339 W. Lunt to be exact. This is full circle for me (Lynn). Our home was right down the street from Alison Zehr. And what a lovely estate this is ladies and gentlemen! I'll get to the goodies in just a moment. I simply must share with you Alison's Zehr's amazing life! When Ty and I arrived to do the walk through, the entire visit just felt good! We all talked and walked the estate and figured out the game plan. As we (Ty and I) begin to delve into the estate, we began uncovering, art, jewelry, sterling, vintage hats, sheet music, etc. But then folks began telling us little tidbits about Alison.

Even if its simply water to a thirsty woman or food to a hungry soul. I am forever changed. Thank you Alison Zehr, Goddess of Rogers Park!
