    Ann:

    I'll play with you sometime. It's got to be weekdays. 9am or after. Looking at Google Maps, there are 6 courts at Horner Park and 4 more at Revere Park, which is only a few blocks away. This is just west of Western at Irving Park. That might be pretty much in the middle. Or we could do a home and away. I usually play at Portage Park. Let me know when you want to play.

    in general weekend AM. next weekend, July 11-12, Saturday anytime in the AM is good. Sunday AM, have to be done by 9:30. Let me know if you are available any of those times. Any courts in/near Lakeview work, Waveland/ Hamlin/ Oz or anywhere else in the area...

    How about 8:00 at Waveland? You have a north or south courts preference?

  • Jason Walcott

    no worries, I am sure I will be rusty. I haven't played in a few years and will definitely need some practice. I picked some balls up too. Plan on seeing you Sunday AM @ the north courts.

    It seemed halfwayish. Find another place if that doesn't work and let me know. I live in Jeff Park.

    Thanks for the response Ann! I work Mon-Thursday 7-5pm, so weeknights after 6:30pm and anytime Friday-Sundays. What works best for you? ~Phil

    Why don't we reschedule for Fri or next week. Jeff Park is actually right across the street from the train station, but they have some youth tennis camp going on in the mornings for the next few weeks. Find a court NW of you that you can bike or take the train to. I have a car, so I can drive there.

    Thursday works great. I live in Wheeling. I have a vehicle so driving is ok for me. Do you have a particular court you would like to play at?

    Jul 7, 2009

  • Phil

    7pm or later would work for Waveland. You are more familiar with that area than I am so choose a time you think there won't be lessons. My cell is 763-291-8963.

    Hey Ann. Okay, so my new racquet will be ready on Tuesday sometime, so I would like to try it out on Wed or Thurs. Of course, I would be willing to play with my "old" one on Mon or Tues. Did you find a place for us to play? Let me know.

    Hey Ann-
    Relatively new to the site and putting the feelers out for who might be down for hitting up around the north side. I'm in Edgewater and a quick cycle ride from Waveland.

    Currently unemployed and need to stretch the legs - looking to hit around any time of day/night, really. solid 3.0-3.5. I see you're a gracious winner and loser like me - hope we can meet up!

    Let me know either way :)

    Ann-
    Turn of events over the past month, hence the hiatus. I'm down in Hyde Park now, so it'd make more sense to find a hitting partner down here.

    Best of luck finding a full-time gig!
    :)

    Take care,
    dj
