First glimpse: Marmol Radziner to helm Hotel Cecil’s interior renovations
"John LoCascio of consulting firm Historic Resources Group told the board that renovations will include returning many features inside and outside of the hotel to the way they were in 1924, when the Cecil opened" yet nothing in the rendering looks historic. What is going on with these plans?

Suburbs of Chicago, which account for 2/3 of the population btw, typically pay far higher residential tax rates than Chicago. The recent tax rate hike in the city inched the rates closer to what suburban residences usually pay. With literally hundreds of municipalities in the area, not all are the same and most often schools take biggest portion of tax bills in suburbs, which unlike Chicago, almost universally don’t have unified school districts like CPS (Elmwood Park and Elgin are exceptions). Therefore, two identical houses, in same suburb even, may have very different taxes and values based on school district in which they reside. Some suburbs have multiple districts for K-8, then differing HS districts. Most suburbanites would love to lower their rates to that of Chicago’s.
Old Fourth Ward’s block-altering Waldo’s project is officially a go
My view is that b/c O4W is so built out from a residential perspective (the thousands of Beltline connected housing)… you should be adding more offices so that ppl can use the Beltline to get to/from work and where they live.
People don’t need their home and job to be in the same neighborhood (i.e. ~0.5 miles) to be able to walk/bike/take transit. The entire O4W neighborhood is within 1-2 miles of most central business district jobs, so I think in the broader context, virtuall all of intown Atlanta has too many offices and not enough housing (but also not enough nearby everyday retail outside of Midtown/O4W/Inman Park).
