— Some see a silver lining to Chicago’s woes. Cheaper high-end condos downtown.(COMMENT: When I was 25 years old in 1974, so that I could walk to/from work at IRS in the Loop and graduate evening business and accounting classes and Loyola and DePaul, I bought a studio condo in the Outer Drive East building. I traded it in to the building’s owner for a one bedroom condo in 1976. I sold it for a $10,000 profit ($50,000 in today’s dollars) when I got married in 1978.)

— ‘Luxury’ car condos could soon roll into Gilberts (COMMENT: I am looking for people who share my interest in cars. I own two Corvettes (1972 and 2005) and a Mustang GT Premium (2023), Charger R/T Max (2013), and Thunderbird LX (1996). If you share my interest in cars, please let me know. I would like to show you my Iron Gate Motor Condo in Naperville.)
https://www.dailyherald.com/20241216/autos/luxury-car-condos-could-soon-roll-into-gilberts/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Developers are getting closer to getting a green light from village board members to build a “luxury” car condominium complex with retail and clubhouse space in Gilberts. BeSpoke Motor Union describes the condos as a “country club for car enthusiasts” that provide a space for people to store luxury cars. The plan calls for 156 “highly customizable” units in 10 two-story buildings. Car condos are a relatively new fad popping up in the area, with other developers working on similar facilities in Crystal Lake, Barrington and South Barrington. Trailblazers Iron Gate Motor Condos have been operating in Naperville since 2015. The Crystal Lake development called Redline Motor Condos, owned by Mayor Haig Haleblian, was approved by the city council in August. Developers aim to construct 25 two-story garage condo units at 7225 Teckler Blvd.)
