            That poor house. It’s going to cost a fortune to restore it.

                Isn't it curious in general that listings include disclaimers that say certain images might be AI?

                Why even do that? The potential buyer is going to see the place.

                  @wtg Would you please tell us for people who aren't that familiar with Chicago (like myself) about the Old Town neighborhood?

                    Bump for wtg. I'd like a local's perspective. I could could Google it. I've only been to Chicago twice. I stayed in Rogers Park both times.

                      @steve-miller and @mik This house doesn't look like it needs renovation to me.

                      Well, of course, in an alternate universe, if I wanted to buy it, I'd have to hire a home inspector (as well as an attorney).

                      Then I'd know. I don't know.

                      I think it's beautiful and I've always wanted an elevator.

                      An elevator building, here (ones with 3 stories or more have them) would be great.

                      I even had a dream once that I discovered an elevator in the pantry of my grandparents' house in Tampa.

                      It went down one floor to a basement (yes, it was nonsense).

                      I asked my grandmother why she never told me about it. She said I didn't need to know.

                      What would Jung have said? /r
