Can anyone with any Chicago area construction knowledge ballpark if North was up or down on this deal.

Article says he paid $210,000 for the property, so what would it cost to build that house when he did back in the early 1990s?

What was the original listing?

" Blue Collar Gatsby " ? That's beautiful.

I’d say he spent about 300k in construction, maybe less as that was before the boom

He originally listed it for 1 million. Getting 830k isn't bad. I predicted early in this thread that he'd only get 600k. So I was way off. Good for Pappy.

About 125$ s.f. to build that back then.

I just go a text about it. There might be some cool bar stuff but I doubt you are going to get it at estate sale prices. Mike will think the North brand increase value by 20%

After the endless hype from North about Pappyland and how many TVs he had, I giggled at the site of 6? TVs, all of which were tiny tube monitors that looked like he got them cheap from a bankrupt OTB parlor. And Lic must've hung all the pictures/memorabilia.

More like Del Webbio, amirite?

I’m going to stop and say hi to Pappy between 9 and 10 tomorrow jimmy

Of course Park Ridge. What a weird place that was in the '90s. White collar workers trying to live the suburban dream and organized crime shitheads of all stripes. Italians, Russians, Ukrainians, and a sprinkling of some truly demented assholes from the Balkans that came later. Most everyone I knew had an older brother or father who was into something, some in very major ways that had them in and out of prison.
