Back in February 2008, the owner was under stress as a lis pendens had been filed. Read our chatter and see pictures here. Now, it’s bank-owned and has been […]

There has been a lot of chatter over the past few months about raising a family in the city of Chicago versus the suburbs. The main topic of conversation has been the schools.
