5401 Itaska 5.23.2007 | 3 Comment(s)

Kudos to the new owner(s?) of 5401 Itaska! The building has been completely gutted, it no longer smells as bad as it did and, best of all, the big stupid bushes that used to make walking along the sidewalk impossible have been cut down! I don't know who owns it now or what's going to happen there, but I hope that the restoration of the outside reflects the historic details of the windows and doors that once adorned the building. No Home Depot doors, please!

I feel good about the changes that have been made so far, I can't wait to see this building restored.

The owner is a real estate broker who will live above and maintain his business on the ground floor. S/he is a welcome addition to the Macklind Ave business district.

My dad knows him quite well. He's a good guy and will take good care of the property.
