    On the Move

    The mStoner Chicago office is moving! We are pleased to announce that as of August 9, 2010 our address will be:

    mStoner, Inc.
    4311 N. Ravenswood Ave.
    Suite 304
    Chicago, IL 60613

    We love our neighborhood, though, so we’re not going very far. Seriously:

    And our new office will really be a new office. The building is freshly rehabbed (ahem, it’s not done quite yet but we’re assured the necessities will be done by the time we move). For those of you who enjoy home improvement, we thought we’d share some photos.

    The building is three stories and we’ll be occupying about half of the top floor. If you look closely, the sign out front reads “Bobby Moore’s Performing Elephants”. We love the sign and the landlord has agreed to move it inside to the lobby. We’ve been assured that elephants weren’t really kept in the building.

    Look at all those windows! As you can see, we really were working with a blank canvas. With the help of a wonderful space planner, we’ve come up with a plan that suits our needs and keeps true to the mStoner atmosphere.

    The natural woods are another great feature. When we first saw the space the wood was covered in peeling paint but now it’s back to it’s natural color and quite beautiful. Our landlord (we may be moving but we’re not changing landlords, we’ve been with Hayes Properties for about 10 years now) has done a wonderful job in keeping the vintage wood structure intact.

    Overall, the new office allows for a better use of space and, most importantly, moves us far enough from the El train that it will no longer be drowning out our conference calls. We’re all pretty excited about the move:

    • Voltaire is excited about the move because it puts us within walking distance of Spacca Napoli, one of the best pizza places in Chicago
    • Jeremiah is excited about the move because he (and lots of other people) will be getting his own office
    • Kevin & Laurel are excited because their section of the office is filled with natural light
    • Sarah is excited because her commute will be only 7 minutes
    • The entire group is excited because the nearby lunch options are have improved tremendously (though we’ve promised to make the .5 mile walk back to one of our favorites, Cafe 28)

    We’ll keep you posted!
