Welcome to BeverlyToday!
About Us… We would like to introduce ourselves. Kim and Coll are two neighborhood women who have lived in Beverly for over 20 years. We met and became friends like many of you, because of the most common of interests, children of the same age. Through our many experiences in this community we have come to know it well and love it. Our mission is to use this site to share good news, information and events and have a few laughs. We hope to also gather information from you. We are not professionals. We do not use surveys or statistical analysis to enhance our expertise. We use what I think is quite valuable, our opinion. We hope you enjoy our reckless banter and share some of yours.
Boomerang Beverly
Let's call it "Boomerang Beverly:" People just keep coming back.
Married for more than three years, Megan and Andy Rees had enjoyed life in a condo in University Village on the Near Southwest Side. When their daughter arrived a year ago, they decided they needed a place with a big backyard, kids on the block for Ellery to play with and the support of nearby family, friends and neighbors.
"You want your daughter to develop the same lifetime friends that you have been able to make," said Megan Rees, a Chicago Public School teacher who grew up in Beverly. "Many of my college friends were amazed that I still have friends I met in grade school. We found that we were coming back to Beverly more and more for events with family and friends, and we decided it made sense to move here. In six weeks we found a brown brick Georgian with an attached garage on a beautiful block with a really big yard."
