Dipped into the women’s shoe department at Printemps to finally take in Hildred Meière’s monumental mosaics from 1931. Originally installed for a bank that occupied the space. This room had been closed to the public for years until Printemp stepped in to restore and reopen it.

Oh this dumb ass is really about to do it isn’t he

I love Bed-Stuy so much

Olmsted really outdid himself with Prospect Park

Watching this documentary on Natchez MS and kind of feel like I’m losing my mind a little

Good Morning

Ask your legislators to bring back middle housing to Illinois by passing the BUILD Plan! actionnetwork.org/letters/pass...

Pre-war apartment residents stay winning

You can still get a pretty normal 3 bed 2 bath in Kenwood. In the condos built into and around the McGill House down on Drexel Blvd. Just $260K, which isn't horrible. I've always thought this one was such a bizarre case of pseudo preservation. www.realtor.com/realestatean...

Was this my sign to finally pick up The Lonigan Trilogy?

I think Washington park might be my favorite park in the city design wise but it could also be a little better you know?

Music box is putting on Salome (1922) as a part of Sapphopalooza oh man I gotta go

I really need to find a new job but the jobs out there also seem terrible

oh no, uic realized it forgot to fuck with one tiny part of the neighborhood's character & are rectifying that

I had a dream I leaving town to finally visit all of Louis Sullivan's banks on a week long road trip but as I was driving down the Dan Ryan I noticed gas had ripped up to $9 over night I'd rather not

2949 West Washington Boulevard

Outstanding 1900s Romanesque Revival residential building with beautiful loggia-style enclosures. Orange-rated for significance in the Chicago Historic Resources Survey. My 2016 photo contrasted with one from the Illinois Historic Structures Survey c. 1971-1975.

The president is sending us psychic messages over what stocks to buy I guess

The 1920s piss me off so much. What do you mean this ridiculously ornate little beauty was originally designed to be a GARAGE?! Architect: Charles Draper Faulkner, 1925

Some beautiful homes in Joliet’s Cathedral Area, including a delightful one covered in shingles. Really a stunning neighborhood to walk around.

Pretty nice vintage one bed over in Ravenswood. Asking $270K. In unit W/D. Between the Metra, the brown line and the redline. Super transit accessible spot and pretty nice vintage features. Walking distance to Lincoln Square, Uptown and Andersonville www.realtor.com/realestatean...

Pretty decent one bed for sale over in downtown Oak Park. Looking over Austin Gardens. LR/DR, and a pantry that's been re-done up as an office. Over 1,100 square feet! This is the smallest a one bedroom apartment should ever be. $225K www.realtor.com/realestatean...

The street closures up by me for that big funeral at St Andrew’s are kinda intense. They totally cleared out Kenmore for some reason?

Behold the Shoreland, originally an opulent apartment hotel. Encrusted with a truly bonkers amount of terra cotta, the facade has Weird Guys everywhere. Still, nothing prepares you for the weirdest of them all: the huge, monstrous cartouches best captured in the OP. Architect: Meyer Fridstein, 1926

Goofy for all the little details at 4938-42 N. Francisco (Harry Glube, 1927)

Yay!

These 7 adorable homes were originally numbered 24-36 when they were built circa 1895. By 1908, No. 26 (now 231) was home to the formidable Miss Maud Muriel Warner, who made headlines that year for becoming a dentist. She was the only woman in a class of 29.

Oh No.... bradbury.com/product/chic...

Somehow I missed this. An entire coach house with a 3 bedroom apartment over a 3-car garage got listed down in Kenwood for $200K? Already contingent. I hope it goes to somebody who uses that garage space for something cool. Super unique property www.realtor.com/realestatean...

It looks like the two retail buildings immediately next to the Bryn Mawr redline stop are for sale. Asking nearly $2M which feels really steep? www.loopnet.com/Listing/1122...

Good Morning

This upholstery is ugly right

A few from Chicago's Austin neighborhood

We've sent over TWO THOUSAND letters in support of the BUILD plan, which will legalize missing middle housing throughout Illinois. Sending a letter takes 30 seconds; make your voice heard today! 🏘️ actionnetwork.org/letters/pass...

So I hear they're making the cum trees illegal

New unit up on the market at The Aquitania. A bit of an indirect LakeView. One bed, one bath. Co-operative. Monthly assessments of $1.9K/month. I guess that includes everything including taxes but still kinda high. $175K. I looked at 6E in 2017...which was asking $65K then. lol

Trying to build up a brokerage after over indexing my retirement funds and wow these tech stocks sure rip that really can't be sustainable right

Are they not talking about the JP Morgan sex scandal over on this site

42 calls made so far! Can we get another 42 today? 🥺

I wonder how many other companies will wind up setting up shop down here?

Sitting in my office and contemplating the walls of the Uptown Theatre

Can’t stop thinking about the interiors of the Charnley–Persky House

Broke: Tear down Lakeshore Drive Woke: Unfill the lakefront entirely

Current 'sculpture' garden fronting the DuSable museum leaves a bit to be desired when you know it used to look like this

$6b for 5 miles of track and 41k daily trips. About 5x - 10x what Europeans, Asians, or Mexicans pay for their underground subway systems. 🤑🤑🤑

The City That Works When It Feels Like It

I come from the future. Hollywood Regency is HOT Use this information at resale shops wisely before the window closes like it did on MCM

Top floor 3 bed 2 bath in South Shore listed for $128K. This citys still got it www.zillow.com/homedetails/...

Absolute wreck of a 4 bedroom Condo in Lake View Park would fix everything
