You'd think on a nasty day like this, I'd have some real nasty story - or something? Think again. Today's story is about something real positive in CAPS beat 2431.
Reside on Morse. That's correct. Reside on Morse (they get a double link) is transforming Morse Avenue like nothing else has in recent years.
Sure, they've been featured in ways that management hasn't liked in the past. In fact, this property is one of the main reasons I started this blog. This building has generated over 100 stories on this blog. This property was the reason Morse Avenue had a reputation of being a Hellhole. This property was twice featured as 'Slum building of the Year.'
But not anymore.
Reside on Morse earns the most improved property of the year. It's nice to have a property management and security team that cares about the safety of it's own residents and that of the surrounding community. Congratulations to Reside on Morse. Personally, I'd like to see them win the award next year too.

Yes,this is a positive entry.
Thank you.
Aside from illuminating the positivity of this address on Morse avenue is there any other incentive to post this ardently?

There's no 'pay-to-play' involved, if that's what you mean.
I could take the post down. Would that make you happy?
No.
I was hesitant in phrasing this comment to avoid the appearance of implying that your motive for this posting on community welfare as less than ingenuous.
Why would you offer to banish this post if it would make someone happy?
I have watched Reside on Morse during its transition, and can only commend the owners for a job well done.
Now, all resposibility lies with the management and their leasing policy. Hopefully, new residents will be screened thoroughly, so that one more building in Roger Park can be callled a GOOD BUILDING, with no thugs, scum, etc.
This type of CHANGE is a very, very good thing!

Not only is this a positive post but it's true. I agree about the award idea. I have been witness to the security dealing (on more than one occassion)with situations that are were once unfortuately typical on Morse for so long and doing it with bravado and patience. Change is good,I hope they keep it up. I am really glad to see that building rid of the vermin that use to infest this area and have seen the little roaches scurrying and trying to get back in. Go Reside!
i moved into this building (lunt side) about a month ago and so far it has been a good experience.i cant believe how these buildings use to be.
This is very good news. We can't afford to just discard these buildings. May other "problem" buildings in the area turn out this well.
We will just keep spotlighting every bad building and demanding action until we can get the authorities to move on them with court-ordered sales and vacates, and get them converted to good rentals.
There is a real demand for reasonable rentals for moderate-income people, the type of people we want and who are priced out of "prime" neighborhoods.
It looks nice and clean from the photos on the website, but so many of them have such trendy design accent pieces that are not actually part of the construction or layout. It doesn't really show you exactly what the finished product looks like unfurnished.
In one of the the pics there is ugly gray carpeting under a designer bed, and all of them have strategically placed "accent walls"... I'm sure it's better than before, but all that make up has got me wondering about the face underneath.
You're still living a few yards from an EL stop, gotta love hearing a train every 5 minutes at rush hour and the droves of dealers in wheelchairs on Morse!
I haven't been in the building but it certainly looks much nicer from the outside and I have often spoke to a security guard outside - I say keep it up!
I was walking by an saw an actuall doorman/security guard sitting there. Granted he was sort of elderly and probably couldn't beat up/catch many people, but at least he was there.
BTW, you wrote a postive thing. Does this mean six more weeks of winter?
