Studio True Blue Thriving in Tremont: Our First Year on the Block
by Sean and Tracey Dwyer
You may not believe us, but we have good news about 2017: good news and even better news!
When we moved our Studio True Blue Pilates & Massage business to Tremont one year ago, we had no idea what the response might be. We took a risk setting up shop in our relatively hidden location on Kenilworth. Discreetly tucked behind Kollective Tattoo, we couldn’t resist the allure of being right on the beautiful Lincoln Park Square, and we found ourselves inspired by the historically successful businesses that had come before us at this locale. What appeared to be a risky decision a year ago turned out to be the best move we’ve ever made. Our clients love the covert location and the way it reflects the private, one-on-one personal training and therapy services we provide. 
There is a definite experience of quiet, self-care revolution going on at our studio. We have met so many amazing people in Tremont, and we absolutely love the communal fun that pulses in Lincoln Park with its festivals, classes, farmers markets and music.
The South Side: “The Best Walks in Tremont”
A special report by The Tremonster
“The best walks in Tremont,” said Sherman Delozier, owner of The South Side in Tremont, as he cleared the snow from the sidewalk in front of his restaurant.
Thursday morning, Tremonsters woke up to find eight to 12 inches of lake effect snow coating the neighborhood. Residents and business owners dug themselves out of driveways and sidewalks, enduring wind chills that dipped well below zero.
“I love this season,” Delozier added, sincerely.
Check out his sidewalk work at The South Side, 2207 W 11th Street.
