"IF" Chicago is awarded the Olympics for 2016 and God knows they are working hard to bribe oops I mean show
the rest of the world they are indeed ready and the city of choice then this area of the city could be prime for an increase in investment on property in this locale. Hmmm. Every area of the city we scope has an angle on why Alex should buy her condo here, there and everywhere. Chi Town is following the NYC in building living space in the business section of downtown....giving Alex more choices.Dad sees where he is writing his checks to...in front of her college National Lewis. Not much of a football team but Pleep thinks it is way cool to go to school on Michigan Avenue right across the street from the Art Institute.
No No to this Condo!
Pleep is back on LSD & scoping out Oprah's building, still commenting on why Al should live there so he can become a regular on the Oprah Show and the monkey version of Dr. Oz....Dr. Pleepeus, yeah that's the ticket.
Alex wonders does Gidget live in the pink place...no no no Dad.
How many dodgy places do
we look at? Eureka! We finally fin
d one Alex really likes ....Amen!This commercial building just converted the top 10 floors to condo...very cool. The curb appeal may be a bit lacking but the place has a lot going for it .... bustling spot for sure.
Alex adored the unit with the red Italian kitchen...I don't think so as in way toooo tooo
expensive. So not doing a $2m for a starter condo Sis. You must have us confused with some other parents in Boca.Alex really likes the view...from the party room- Millennium Park and the Lake. Buba checks out the "commercial" lobby art work...Buba remarks something to the effect Pleep could do better than this... Alex starts the buttering up Dad routine...one of her specialties.
BERGHOFF'S A CHICAGO CLASSIC
The Berghoff story begins with Herman Joseph Berghoff. It's the quintessential American success story of an immigrant who built a hugely successful business that has stayed in one family for more than a century.Herman left his native Dortmund, Germany, at age 17 and landed penniless in Brooklyn in 1870. Barely 12 years later he founded his namesake brewery in Fort Wayne, IN. The beer was well-received, inspiring Herman to open a café in Chicago to showcase Berghoff's Dortmunder-style beer. It sold for a nickel a glass, a dime for a stein, and sandwiches were offered for free.
The bar remained open even through Prohibition by selling near-beer and Bergo soda pop and became a full-service restaurant that still carries the Berghoff name. When Prohibition was repealed in 1933 the city issued liquor license No. 1 to the Berghoff and has done so each year ever since. Some traditions have died hard at the Berghoff. Long after most resta
urants ended the practice, the Berghoff maintained a separate men-only bar. The segregation ended in 1969, when seven members of the National Organization for Women sat at the bar and demanded service. Not long after, feminist Gloria Steinem came in for a much-publicized drink. Boca remembered being a member of said org. and meeting Glo in the early 70's when they shared the same hairstyle and aviator glasses. My how times have changed. Pleep continues to search for the MONKEYS ONLY bar....he heard about the Monkey Bar at the Boca Resort which he will defintiely check out upon his arrival to his new home. Is Boca ready for Pleep????
