We chattered about this 2-bedroom in Avenue East at 160 E. Illinois in Streeterville several times, but the most recent in early August when it was reduced below $400,000. See our August 2009 chatter here. I asked in August if this price was a deal. It’s cheaper than many 1-bedrooms in the neighborhood and the building […]

We’ve chattered about The Palmolive, at 159 E. Walton, several times in the past two years. It is the ultra-luxury Gold Coast building where actor Vince Vaughn allegedly purchased a penthouse several years ago.
