When you reach a certain age, it becomes very difficult to differentiate engaging from lame, so I’ll leave that task to you as you scroll down the new website for 805 N LaSalle. Eight O Five, you’ll learn, is a “new rental concept in Chicago living” at the intersection of:

love and meme

classic and modern

awe and shock

taboo and tatoo

ideal and real

new and now

As I progressed through that list I found myself stuck at the intersection of dumb and dumber, wondering who would move to a location that’s taboo or one that conjures a military doctrine aimed at destroying an enemy’s resistance.

Do the pairs of abstractions resonate with you? Can you get past awe and shock without hearing the bombs burst over Baghdad?
