It has the potential to be a community magnet if it becomes a 7-day-a-week restaurant & watering hole, if it isn't already. What’s up currently with the Hotel Florence?

I went down with some friends - I think there had been some open houses. The thing that struck us was the fairly strong gay presence in the area - several houses in most blocks had leather & bear pride flags flying. I remember that being the place where edgy 70s rehabbers went for a period, since it's truly a unique urban setting, if an isolated environment - though with good transit to the loop.

This entry has inspired me to go down there this weekend or next to snap some photos. It's definitely one of Chicago's most fascinating neighborhoods. Thanks Joe!

But every time I walk around Pullman I am equally haunted by the ghost of Old Man Pullman, the abandoned plant, and the unsafe neighborhoods next door. It's a place where the history oozes from every block, but it still feels kind of abandoned even though most of the homes are occupied. Does anyone have first hand (or second hand) knowledge of what it's like to live there? That’s a beautiful house.
