A workable basic definition -- it's by nature complicated and squishy. It tells you that not only is history something to be toyed with, it's something to be violated.
In other news, can you tell me more about that apartment thingie? I've live in Grant Park before, and liked much about it, but of course, some bits are better than others.
Of course. The house is in one of the nicer parts. You know the fountain entrance to the park on Cherokee? It's about a block up and over from there on Oakland. It's a huge turn of the century or so home with big white columns and a beautiful magnolia and fig tree out front. We've been told that it was turned into a quadraplex in the 20's or 30's. The current owners bought it a couple of years back and spent a lot of time restoring it so everything is up to code. The unit that is up for rent is not the one above us but the one next to that. There are some pictures of our apartment and one of the front of the house here (http://chavaleh.net/gallery/New-House) and I imagine the other apartments have similar feature. Big windows, wood floors, non working fireplaces in all of our rooms. The heating and ac is all brand new. It's really a very beautiful street and area. Let me know if you want other specific information.
$950 and I'm thinking that includes washer and drier but if not, I'm fairly certain there are hookups. It's available now. They've shown it to at least a couple of people already but the sign is still out.
Heh, sorry thought Tim had mentioned it in his note. It's two bedrooms and one bath. Our tub is a bit on the small side so I suppose the one up there is too, but then you don't have quite as large an ass to fit in it as I do. :P I'm not sure how quickly it will rent out. We moved in in Feb and it was May I think before the other units filled up. I guess the guy in that one didn't work out. It's been up for rent for maybe two weeks now?

What's the laundry situation?
Know when they want to rent it out by?

Geez, this might not be soon enough for them if they're already showing it to folks, since we'd probably aim for September.
But hey, worth a shot.

It would be cool - we shall see, and it's inspired me to look more for similar places in the Grant Park area.
