The buyer of this mid-century Rogers Park ranch had always assumed that people who were into Star Wars lived below their mothers in musty basement apartments surrounded by George Lucas propaganda. Then he came across the seller's sleek orange fireplace and rhapsodized about the 'oh so cool' stylings of a previously dismissed class. Due to time constraints the buyer was unable to see the charred remains of Ewoks inside the coveted fireplace.

Couple Takes Mad Men Euphoria Too Far
First they bought the Eames lounge chair, then the Egg chair, then the Tulip chair, then switched from weekend Miller Lites to nightly whiskeys, then from lululemon pants and University of Michigan sweatshirts to pencil skirts and skinny ties, but now the sellers of this not very mid-century bungalow have decided to only communicate with the Talk-A-Phone, summed up by the seller's husband best when he told us, "just like Draper, baby".
