Evanston does not regulate home businesses, so as a consequence, there are numerous home businesses--a lot of liberal artsy fartsy sort of stuff, but also a lot of burgeoning Internet type business with a bunch of burned out middle age guys hitting the coffee shops early in the a.m. including yours truly. It will be interesting to see how quickly these sorts of businesses adjust to this sort of bandwidth. I think the initial growth will be spectacular with a comensurate increase in real estate prices. One of the neat things I have discovered about the Internet is the ability to find that truly one of a kind item such as a book out of print or the very special collectable or that very special enemy. As a sidebar, when I went to NU years ago, there was a man who was considered something of a visionary. His name was Franklin Kreml. He had become a lieutenant in the Evanston Police Department at the age of 29, and he later went on to found Northwestern's Traffic School, which is world famous. He picked a young man to be his assistant in the late 60's who was only in his twenties. Not surprisingly, this young man is now heading up the project to make Evanston the nation's first totally wired city.
