Just got a realtor TikTok that started with the question “What can $1.4M get you in the beautiful Albany Park neighborhood of Chicago?” It’s literally so over lmao

Does anybody buy meat directly from the big butchers/distributers in Chicago? Should I be making a monthly trip instead of buying meat at the grocery stores for quality/pricing?

This decision is even worse imo. This was very obviously an absolutely terrible investment in the new casino—I’d go as far as characterizing it as predatory—and Conyears-Ervin was out pushing it, primarily to the Black community, as a way to create “generational wealth.”

The amount I do not fear losing my job is actually crazy

Coming soon it may not be over

What if AI replaced my job but they kept paying me my salary because I have nice vibes

I still can’t believe they didn’t already have a Rockwell

Somebody just bid $176K on the latest auction it’s literally so over

Why did nobody tell me how entertaining Will Stancil was

We can’t afford to scale down investment into our city. But DPD, and the CEO of the Chicago Architecture Center, are trying to do that in West Loop. Here they are arguing against DX zoning! Wtf www.chicagobusiness.com/commercial-r...

Good Morning

Demo sales are so depressing what do you mean you're 'gut renovating' a greystone and want all of the woodwork doors and fireplaces GONE www.estatesales.net/IL/Chicago/6...

The Nelson Algren memorial fountain. A holdover from a simpler time when Wicker Park had enough people living in it to think to name a fountain after a local literary legend.

Got a letter in the mail about an IRA an employer I worked for 8 years ago had in my name

The TrumpRx coupon card is making me laugh sorry

Helping my mom get all of her accounts in order. She had a letter from vanguard confirming her account closure. I asked if she knew what that was and where that money went to. She had no idea. So I gave her homework to call and find out. She found an IRA with $130K in it that she didn’t know about

I'm ready for it to be over

Was curious on the history of Harper Square, a housing cooperative down on the lake in Kenwood. Apparently it was developed by the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America?? I didn't know non construction unions got involved in real estate development back in the day?

Good Morning

My realtor, who I've befriended over the years, who I bonded on our HOA board for a couple years, may actually kill me. She started representing neighbors in our old building because of how little I paid for my unit then. And here I am, thinking of low balling a unit blocks away from her new place.

I thought we were getting the biggest tax refunds ever this year

What can somebody get away with renting a bedroom with an ensuite bathroom for down in Kenwood? 🤔

Good Morning

The strange old political shit you can find on Facebook Marketplace
