This place isn't for everybody. It's a 5th floor walkup in north river downtown Chicago. It sounds like the city day and night. It's full of artwork in finish and in progress, art books and literature, albums, eclectic tchotchkes, and three Grundig stereo systems of multiple vintages. The bath is a marble tiled hideout, lit in part through east-facing glass bricks. The back door opens to a rooftop deck with tables, chairs, skyscraper views, and a flower riot bathed in occasional music. Your conversation with Michael the proprietor will veer among art and photography, architecture, history, flying, real estate, and the many people he's welcomed into this home from everywhere. If this is for you, and it sounds too good to be true, book it now. Then book your tickets for Chicago. It's for real.
