Thanks to Toni at the 24/7 Howardwatcher for providing three answers to three questions regarding the Coe Hole at Morse Avenue and Greenview. Let's start shall we?
1.) Mr. Coe stated the property on Morse and Greenview had to be demolished due to the vagrants in the area.
2.) Regarding the ‘unfortunate’ demolition that resulted in horror stories from our neighbors. Coe stated the demolition was done by a City certified/licensed contractor.
3.) Mr. Coe stated the city licensed contractor had been informed by the gas company the service had been shut off. However, that was not the case.
Blognotes: Tomorrow we will visit a few more of Mr. Coe's 'Broken Promises'. Or, as we call them in the real world, Mr.Coe's lies. Here is a guy who lies to the community and the Alderman covers up his dangerous and unhealthy problems. Why? Because Mr. Coe gives money to the Alderman's re-election fund. That's how it's done here in Rogers Park under the leadership of Alderman Moore.

Many approved of the Sheridan/Rogers building on the second round...just a little problem with ownership, so another failed project. After years of offerings, Terzakis finally got city approval and the community liked his offerings...another failed project. Then there's the Pivot Point meeting, it was held, and the building is at a standstill. Of course the Gateway mall is what '87% leased' and the only blame can now be put on the el station development! Well, once a year there's a Halloween store for two months.
It was also very convenient that Coe's business partner was out of the country but the meeting was held between Zoning meetings and the Zoning Board of appeals meeting AND on a Bears night game.
The design is fine, it's the force behind it that defies the belief in coincidence. Am I the only one who caught the slip that Coe had spoken to Terzakis? Are Coe and Camelot the only two developers in a city the size of Chicago?
Paradise, you were at the meeting. I don't know if there's any 'long time' relationship between the two...I didn't write that anywhere did I? I just find it intriguing that Moore calls for eminent domain, Coe's all over Ward 49 and then in a meeting mentions a 'new development' at the Lerner site. That's why I asked him if he was involved in it somehow. You heard the response. Obviously Terzakis is trying to ditch the property...as for contamination...someone recently discussed having soil samples done and it isn't as bad as the gossip. That's all for now.
If the property were in the TIF area, the taxes collected by the TIF would be used to clean the site. That is one good use of TIF funds.
I went by today and the permit signs were up and the machines were digging out the foundation. About damn time.
