This is what a washout looks like.

As the downtown condo market crashed, developers from North Avenue to Motor Row were stuck with thousands of unsold units—and bad debt up to their penthouses. At least four in 10 downtown condo projects proposed or under way five years ago wound up in financial distress, according to a Crain's analysis that for the first time shows the full impact of the recession on residential development in the city's core.

In retrospect, 2007 “was the beginning of the end, and stupid deals were going on,” says Garry Benson, president and CEO of Garrison Partners Inc., a Chicago-based residential consulting and marketing firm. “Stupid deals fall first, and they were exceedingly stupid at the end.”

Two teens killed, 24 others wounded across city - chicagotribune.com

Two teenagers were killed and 24 others were wounded during a city night filled with gun violence.

The youngest victim, Richard Modell, 17, died from his wounds after being shot along with a friend as the two went to meet a girl in the West Woodlawn neighborhood on the South Side Saturday night.

Richard Modell, 17, may have been targeted due to a feud between two rival gangs, one of which police say he belonged to. He and the 18-year-old were on their way to meet a girl when someone walked up and opened fire in the 6300 block of South Rhodes Avenue just before 9:30 p.m., according to police.

Modell died after being taken to John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County in "extremely critical" condition with a gunshot wound to the chest. Modell lived about three blocks south of where he was killed, a spokesman for the Cook County medical examiner's office said.
