This nugget of condo knowledge comes straight from Joe Zekas:
“To the best of my knowledge there’s only one Chicago project named after a late-medieval warlord.”
Can you name it? The first commenter to answer correctly in the comments below will get a YoChicago yo-yo.
Well the time frame is wrong, but I could imagine Hadrian’s Wall Townhomes in Humboldt Park. Designed to keep out the invading hordes of pasty Celts from the east.
Outside that I am curious to see the answer.
IrishPirate,
Why keep out those pasty Celts when one can skin them and sell their pelts?
aaarrrgggghhhh!!!!!!!
Joe,
methinks Jonathan Swift would like your middling proposal.
IrishPirate,
Swift was my inspiration.
Some Celts could be considered YUMMies – young, upwardly mobile meals. They’re low in fat, high in protein and contain few harmful chemicals.
I used to be a YICCUP.
Young Irish Catholic College Educated Urban Professional.
Now my fat content is higher and my hairline has retreated like the the Corsican before Moscow.
You can find the development’s name in this photo.
As the mayor might say when confronted with the fact that a relative has a city contract, “Who Knew?”
I guess my knowledge of late medieval central/western Asian warlords is sorely lacking.
Tamerlane sounds like a nice place. “I live over in Tamerlane”.
Much better than say “Genghis Khan Condominiums”.
Your house is valueble for me. Thanks!…
