I don’t think I’ve ever set foot in that little triangle between western/fullerton/kennedy. Maybe it’s an ok area but seems awfully cut off. Not exactly the best part of Logan Sq. Wonder what’s a good comp in the better part of Logan….(too busy to look today)
This place might as well be 2343 W. Kennedy Expressway.
I was thinking about lining up a showing until I noticed the location, no thanks.
Stumbling distance to Quenchers and the Mutiny (two of my favorite bars ever) is definitely a plusplusplus.
You could stumble home from Quenchers pretty easily.
Living near the Mutiny would be awesome. I would never tire of having Slayer on the jukebox!
Rather than “close to everything” listing should say: “conveniently in Kennedy Expressway’s right-of-way”. Noise, light, and smell concerns.
Well since this place is under the kennedy, its not that bad noise wise…
wow, i never even knew there were homes, let alone a mini hood behind Quenchers. pretty short walk to mid town tennis and the vienna beef factory store. also fireside bowl, honey 1 and target. a well situated no mans land if there ever was one.
What a beautiful view of the Kennedy. I am sure some car, truck or exhaust gas enthusiast will snap this up.
This place needs more cabinet space in the kitchen.
Air quality this close to the Kennedy will probably give you or your kids health problems. I never understood those 2 million dollar homes in Bucktown with air quality that would give EPA testers nightmares. Those old diesel 18 wheelers rolling all night should be of concern to potential buyers .
-honey could youhand me the fruity pebbles in the second cabinet on the right?….5 hours later they are talking to divorce lawyers
-no need for a finished basement when you can store everything you own in the kitchen
-craiglist add..$50 a month all your storage need, please enter from back to get to kitchen
-from friends…”Can there beeee any more cabinet doors?”
-what was that movie where you would go through a door and end up somewhere crazy? was it beetle juice?
-it needs more cowbell, more cowbell (replace cowbell with cabinets)
-ever forget an anniversary? just tell her you hid it in the kitchen…. then go out for a few hours get her a gift, stop at a bar toss a few back, come home and say you didnt find it yet?
– house in logan for sale, short term memory problems please look elsewhere
sorry not all of those hit, brain is not at full capacity, its tax season and i have been working 12 hour plus days since sunday. 12 pm tomorrow it will be back to normal groove brain works.
Groove are you drunk???
I lived near the expressway for about a year. Developed asthma. The asthma’s gone since I moved away. Air quality sucks, although you get used to the relaxing noise of traffic…
Why’s everyone harshing on the kitchen cabinets? I’d rather have them up to the ceiling than have that dead space on shorter cabinets, where all the cooking goo and dust settle to create a sludge that’s impossible to clean up there. What they need is more counter space…
I like this place, even with the location. I think ~$250 might get it done.
Nice interior, and I like the kitchen cabinets; more places should have kitchen cabinets like these.
“What a beautiful view of the Kennedy. I am sure some car, truck or exhaust gas enthusiast will snap this up.
ha, nice one, Bob.
although it’s possible 10+ years from now traffic exhaust will be significantly reduced via more electric, hybrid and overall fuel-efficient vehicles. air quality does substantially decline every foot you get closer the highway, that’s pretty undeniable.
If you ever need convincing that the smoking ban was a terrible idea, go visit the Mutiny. That place REEKS of urine, body odor and shattered dreams. I still love it.
“Groove are you drunk??”
just over worked and running on 4 hours a sleep the past few nights,
all is good today once i get home i am hitting the sack at 7:30 pm
“-what was that movie where you would go through a door and end up somewhere crazy? was it beetle juice?”
Maybe, but also Being John Malkovich.
