Last October, the Guest House celebrated one year of serving Illinois Medical District patients. We have grown from three to nine apartments and have averaged 80% occupancy since the beginning. Most hotels wish they were at that level. The need for our facility requires more operating dollars. The rent and amenities (electric, cable, water, etc.) on each apartment average $750 per month. For more information, visit www.imdguesthouse.org

The Chopping Block Cooking School, with two Chicago locations, offers daily hands-on and demonstration cooking classes for the home cook.
