Gold Coast life after death

by Joe Zekas on 11/8/09

A columbarium on Dearborn?

Many who’ve passed on life on the Gold Coast may take up residence there after they’ve passed on, if a local architect’s proposal for the Three Arts Club doesn’t go down in flames.

Is this a deadpan publicity stunt? A fired-up negotiating ploy? The property’s highest and best use, urnings-wise?

Joe,

you should really be ashamed of yourself for that post.

“urnings-wise”

GRRRRRRRRRR.

IP,

I am. I’m ashen-faced. It’s haunting me.

More seriously. I remember when, after a years-long zoning battle, developer Herb Rosenthal (a former legal client) proposed building a high-rise mausoleum in the 1400 block of Lake Shore Drive.

The locals backed off and allowed Herb to build his high-rise condos, recognizing that he was unhinged-enough to build the alternative. Perhaps this group pirated the idea from Herb.

Ashen- faced.

Haunted.

I guess I should abandon all hope that ye will change your love of puns.

Pirated.

AAAAAAACK. Aye Aye.

Anyway, the developer maybe perchance dreaming of rubbing some dollars together.

I think it’s a great idea!
