Alliance Française du North Shore, Souleyman Bachir Diagne
Since I had been a French major in college Bonnie Larson invited me to a meeting of the Alliance Française du North Shore. Larson is a real estate agent at Coldwell Banker's Winnetka North office, with which I've been doing a series of videos on life in Winnetka.
We chatted for a few minutes with Souleyman Bachir Diagne, a philosophy professor at Northwestern University who is a native of Senegal. Professor Diagne was the featured speaker at the meeting.

    This is so funny! It uses the exact phrase my husband did at the Tuesday meeting (re: "toehold") and uses the example of a "young attorney" (which the Patch quoted him as being....he's not, he's 42 and in finance). Was this really done 3 years ago? So what I take away from this is that young families should just move to NF? Plus she actually says, there used to be affordable housing, but that doesn't happen anymore." and "there are very few 2 BRs, but they are all bought for teardown."
