Truman College's Flip Sides

Truman College wins my vote for Bauhaus elegance; two dark, anonymous buildings filling most of the postage stamp campus.Looking north, with the academic building immediately on the left, Red/Purple line tracks on the right.

The only grass on campus.

House Hunters Runner Up

Seen on a recent "House Hunters" program. Along with 1100 West Montrose (Nov 3rd post), this condo on Racine lost out to a place on Sheridan.

Sunnyside between Magnolia & Beacon






Demolition At Wilson Yards

After months of inactivity the heavy equipment comes in; two weeks later the buildings on the NW corner of Broadway and Montrose are gone. These buildings likely were home to some area homeless; where now? Target in April 2009?



1100 West Montrose

This building was on a recent "House Hunters." A young couple was bargain hunting in Uptown. House Hunters always presents three places. The other two were at Racine & Leland (the building with Borders) and Sheridan & Leland. The couple chose the place on Sheridan
