You can get Janet out of Chicago but you don't get Chicago out of Janet! The American College of Trail Lawyers Conference took place recently in Janet's hometown. We had a wonderful time with longtime clients and friends - and lots of deep dish pizza! Oh Home Sweet Home! We were really looking forward to getting a chance to celebrate the city with our very own Taste of Chicago. We started and ended our week in Chicago with a crew dinner at Lou Malnatis' Pizzeria. We met  friends Paula Marks and Michele Montgomery Giczewski at Gino's East for more deep dish pizza!

The decor took over 750 stems of black succulents called aeonium  arboreum Schwarzkopf commonly called black beauty or blushing beauty succule...
