Lincoln Park is known in Chicago for it's well preserved and not inexpensive buildings consistently drawing the highest square foot home pricing in the city. However, if one looks closely between the multi-million dollar renovations and urban mansions, the sight of slightly decaying hundred year old frame buildings cast an odd wrinkle to the neighboring wealth. And much to a Lincoln Parker's dismay, the old miserly landlord won't sell. And his tenants prefer Bud Light to bathing much to the consternation of nouveau Logan Square residents who, despite their boastful pride of not being 'from' Lincoln Park, only differ in their eagerness to spend a disproportionate amount of their lower incomes on micro-brewed beers, who themselves, are hoping Bud Light will finally decide to buy them out so they can retire to Lincoln Park.

Owner Tired of Laundry Peep Shows
Enough is enough. This was the sentiment shared by a fed-up North Center home owner. After an extended honeymoon period where she enjoyed weekly peep shows provided by her stackable wash & dry, she has demanded that her machines decide if they want to take it all off, or get locked behind some Chinese drywall, but she is tired of this insufferable relationship they now have.
