interesting place, apartment building
This building, at 5300 S Shore Drive, was where the former, now deceased, mayor of Chicago, Harold Washington, lived.
He occupied 2 apartments in this building on the 6th floor (one for security) at the West end of the hall.
Two other city hall employees (one an alderman) also lived in this building at the same time as did the mayor.
Harold was always friendly when he would come into the building, oftentimes offering a peppermint to people on the elevator as he rode up to his apartment.
