Our second spotlight feature is on our Queen of Mountain & OC Co-Founder, Holly Heffinger! Read on to see some of her fave things to do, see and eat in Chicago and beyond!
WHAT YOU LOVE ABOUT CHICAGO:
I love that Chicago is a melting pot of diverse and unique people who are generally kind and compassionate.
I love the supportive environment for my family and myself. We have built an amazing community of friends who support us and love our kids.
I love that it’s centrally located for both my personal and professional life. I can easily access my friends and family who live all across the country and our business is able to service clients all across North American in a quicker and more cost effective manner.
I love the energy and culture that the city brings while also housing quaint urban neighborhoods that foster approachable and laidback living conditions.
