Bally’s Reaches Chicago Land Deal with Tribune
Tumblr media
The accord represents a cleared hurdle for the Rhode Island-based gaming company in its plans to developed a $1.7 billion integrated resort in the third-largest US city. Last November, Bally’s paid $200 million for the land. 안전카지노사이트 The casino operator subsequently sold the property to private equity firm in a $500 million sale-leaseback transaction to raise capital for the Chicago casino projects.
Under the terms of the previous accord, Tribune Publishing could have stayed at the property for an extended period of time. If reports of the new accord are accurate, 안전바카라사이트 Bally’s will provide the Chicago Tribune publisher with a series of cash payments to speed the newspaper giant’s vacating of the premises to July 2024.
The amount of the payments wasn’t publicly revealed. Tribune has occupied the site for more than four decades. Bally’s will demolish the building there to make way for the Chicago casino ? the operator’s most expensive project to date.
Bally’s Clearly Wants Chicago Land Alden Global Capital, the investment firm that owns Tribune Publishing, recently added 10 years to its lease at Freedom Center, indicating that a near-term deal with Bally’s wasn’t likely in the offing.
There was some speculation that Bally’s would help Tribune find another building to lease, 카지노룰 but now appears to the more expeditious course of action for the regional casino operator is to simply pay the media company to vacate the premises.
Outgoing Mayor Lori Lightfoot (D) selected the Freedom Center site. Initially, that decision didn’t go over well, but she was able to get a majority of the Chicago City Council to support the idea.
Clearing the real estate hurdle is pivotal because Bally’s is still waiting on approval for the 바카라�� project from the Illinois Gaming Board (IGB). Bally’s is hoping to commence construction on the casino-hotel in 2024 while aiming for a 2026 opening date.
Time of the Essence for Bally’s The impetus for getting a deal done with Tribune Publishing could be as simple as time. Bally’s is already facing potential delays for its temporary Chicago casino, which will be located in the Medinah Temple in the River North section of the city.
Obviously, the more rapidly Bally’s gets approval for a temporary casino and then the permanent project, the sooner it can start making money in Chicago. 바카라게임방법 That opportunity is certainly there. Bally’s Windy City property will be the first integrated resort in the city and data confirm Illinois misses out on hundreds of millions in tax revenue annually by way of Chicagoans traveling to Indiana casinos.
Owing to the precarious financial positions of both Chicago and the state of Illinois, it behooves those entities to see Bally’s project come to life sooner rather than later. 카지노게임방법 The jobs, income and corporate taxes created by the casino-hotel are seen as essential revenue to generators to a city and state grappling with some of the deepest public employee pension problems in the country.

How many bathroom stalls have windows like these? I preferred Medinah Temple as a concert venue (heard Mahler 8 with the CSO there while Orchestra Hall was being renovated) but it still makes for an interesting shopping experience.

Sept. 24, 1962 - In what was billed as a political debate between a conservative and a “hipster,” William F. Buckley Jr. (pictured) and Norman Mailer met before a crowd of 3,600 at Chicago’s Medinah Temple last night to discuss the subject: “What Is the Real Nature of the Right Wing in America?” Mr. Buckley is the editor of The National Review, a conservative journal. Mr. Mailer is the author of the best-selling war novel “The Naked and the Dead” (1948) and other works. In 1955, Mailer co-founded The Village Voice, a weekly newspaper distributed in Greenwich Village. “Are you prepared to say that it is distinctly the right wing that wants to win the cold war?” asked Buckley from his podium. “No,” said Mailer, “it is the right wing that wishes to blow up the earth.” “Why?” asked Buckley. “Because you think it is better to be dead than Red,” Mailer replied. Buckley called Mailer ignorant; Mailer returned the compliment.

Tree Studios, Chicago
Tumblr media
Tree Studios, courtesy of Wikimedia
Tree Studios, 4 East Ohio, Chicago, is today a retail, commercial, and multi-use complex listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is one of the most recognizable landmarks in the city’s River North district, built originally to serve Chicago’s arts community.
The original Studio building of 1894 was the vision of philanthropist Judge Lambert Tree (1832-1910), a circuit court judge in Chicago and later U.S. Ambassador to Belgium and to Russia, and his wife, Anna. The building, and its later annex, are credited with being the first artist’s colony in the United States. (World Monuments fund https://www.wmf.org/project/tree-studios-and-medinah-temple).
Tumblr media
Tree Studios, facing State Street
The Queen Anne style main building, facing State Street, was designed by Parfitt Brothers, with Bauer & Hill, Chicago, and completed a year after Chicago’s World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893.Lambert and Anna Tree had been considerably impressed by the paintings, sculpture, and crafts exhibited at the Exposition, and wanted to lure artists to remain in Chicago to contribute to the city’s cultural life. Anna Tree had taken her husband to New York to show him a studio building, an inspiration for their own such building.
The area around Tree Studios, known as Chicago’s bohemian arts district from the 1920s to the 1950s, was originally call Tower Town, as the area spread west from the Water Tower at Michigan Avenue, from Chicago Avenue on the north the Grand Avenue on the south. Cheap rent was the main inducement to living and working I the area, and the Trees offered attractive rents for artist studios, offset by income from the ground-floor commercial spaces along State Street. (Lost Communities of Chicago - Towertown; Bertrand Goldberg in Towertown) Rising rents, particularly after North Michigan Avenue gained prominence as a luxury shopping area, later drove out the area’s artistic residents.
Tumblr media
Lambert Tree mansion
Tree Studios was built in three stages from 1894 to 1913.
Extending an entire block on State Street, the 1894 Tree Studios contained 400-square-foot individual ateliers with high ceilings and skylights, but no private baths (there was a lavatory down the hall). Shops on the first floor of the project provided income, so rents for artists could be kept low. While the studios were intended primarily as work spaces, artists who could not afford separate apartments shoe-horned kitchenettes and bathrooms into the tiny units.
By the time of Judge Tree's death in 1910, the waiting list for the rentals was so long that trustees of his estate went ahead with two wings, which opened in 1912 and 1913. Designed by Arthur F. Woltersdorf in the Arts and Crafts style, these red-brick annexes encompassed larger living-working spaces with mezzanine sleeping lofts. The entire U-shaped complex--49 studios in all--wrapped around a tree-shaded courtyard in which a limestone fountain flowed. (Artful Dodgers. By: Margolies, Jane, House Beautiful, 00186422, May2002, Vol. 114, Issue 5)
The original 1894 building was built behind the Tree mansion. The mansion would eventually be razed to make way for the Medinah Temple, completed in 1912.
The entire complex is steel-framed and two stories high. The west façade, facing State Street, is composed of a full-length cast-iron arcade at ground level, to house small shops. “The decorative features include dormers, chimneys with clay pots and a cast iron frieze below the roof soffit. The Ontario and Ohio Street Annexes both have mansard roofs and are faced with brown brick. Each contains four large art studios and one or two-bedroom apartments.” [Chicagology “Tree Studio Building” https://chicagology.com/goldenage/goldenage132/]

The State Street building was listed as a Chicago Landmark on February 26, 1997. The Ohio Street and Ontario Street annexes and courtyard were added as Chicago Landmarks on June 27, 2001. The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 16, 1974.

The following is an excerpt from Charles Rosenthal’s autobiography:
From 1934 to 1938 my Dad, Henry D. Rosenthal, had a studio in the Tree Studio Building.  He had formed a company called Hobbs-Rosenthal Studio to print etchings and engravings.  His partner, Morris Henry Hobbs, was able to obtain a lease. The Tree Studio Building was built by Lambert Tree for fine artists at a rent they could afford.  Ours was $20 per month, including utilities. (Wash rooms were down the hall.) (Jim Rosenthal, “A Visit to Tree Studios – Chicago, Illinois”)

A memory perfectly preserved. Today marks a very special day for me, in many ways, when years ago my fellow Jonesites and I successfully graduated from Jones Commercial/Metropolitan/College Prep High School! Since then I have achieved many accomplishments with more to conquer! More importantly, I have made sure to positively impact others in pursuit of achieving their own milestones. “Greatness comes from within, and with support you can struggle less and navigate better!” (S. Arnold) Thank you to those who have supported and loved me through the years. May Friday, June 13th always be a personal reminder for me that dreams do come true and that there is nothing unlucky about the number 13 for Jesus was the 13th disciple! Signed, “Most Improved Student” “Thelma’s Poor Little Rich Boy” “My Grandfather’s Twin” Solomon Arnold (at Medinah Temple) https://www.instagram.com/p/CewBal_rAhR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Chicago Botanic Garden is privately owned by the Forest preserve district of Cook County, and managed by the Chicago Horticultural Society. It opened to the general public in 1972, offering a variety of programs and courses at the Medinah Temple, offering classes such as "Arts, Arts, Crafts, Gardens and Trees". It was designed and developed by the late Dr. Max Kiehne, who also served as a professor at the University of Illinois at Champaign. The garden has been open to the public ever since.
