City Survival Guide

Hi everyone,

If you are reading this, there is a good chance you are my mother. If you are not Lynne Ranallo, a supportive relative, or bored friend, you have probably reached this page by mistake. Whatever the reason, I welcome you and hope you enjoy my webpage.

Currently, I reside in Chicago, but my hometown is Eastlake, Ohio, about 20 miles east of Cleveland. My 20’s really highlighted my nomadic tendencies because Houston; Fayetteville, N.C.; and Los Angeles, have all been “home” at one point or another. This blog will allow me share some of my experiences with you.

Spoiler alert, I enjoy writing and developing web pages! But before you call me a nerd and stop answering my phone calls, my other hobbies include traveling, cooking, comedy, reading and socializing with my important people.

Wondering who my “important people” are? Check out my “Important People” section where I will continue to reveal who these special individuals are. If you are like me and don’t see your name or picture anywhere in this section, you are most likely pissed. Don’t worry, there’s still time and perhaps I’m waiting for your birthday to add you. If your day comes and goes and still no mention, we’re probably not as close as you think we are—sorry. However, unlike J-Lo my love can be bought. Send me an email—my address can be found under contact info—I will gladly respond with my ongoing Christmas list attached.
