Maybe the “hoarder house” photo was supposed to be that bad.

In a comment on her Facebook page, she says she took it from the roof of an apartment building. Seems feasible to me.

There most certainly are buildings that tall in that part of Chicago. This picture was probably taken from the Loyola University campus on North Sheridan Road, or from the Edgewater Beach neighborhood. If you’ve ever watched the old Bob Newhart show, you may remember he lived in a high-rise. The high-rise he lived in was in this neighborhood.

Agreed, Johanna. Compare this picture-postcard perfect photo to the “hoarder house” picture from the other day. Not the same photog.

I know what it says. And I don’t believe it.

It’s attributed to Brittany on Flickr.

So it involves orders of magnitude more effort than any other photo we’ve seen in this series.

It must’ve been taken from an aircraft (there’s no building that tall in that part of Chicago).

I don’t believe Brittany took that photo.

@Roberta: you’re not alone. Perhaps Brittany wants to move to a city someday. Who knows? Trent the mentor is working his magic!

I don’t see the connection between the photo and the subject of the article.

Isn’t it great how only those of my comments go through that do not actually pertain to the contents of the article?

So that last one finally got through. Ironic much?

Thank you moderation. It’s not like I wanted any of my comments to actually be published anyway.

Having children is definitely a huge motivator to me and I can also see it in the ways my parents’ acted. My father worked 60 to 80 hours a week when I grew up and I appreciate it now that I’m grown up. He didn’t have a great job and it required that many hours of work to give us the meager life style we had. It has carried over into my life I work 60 to 80 hours a week as well and even though I have a better job then he ever did I feel like its the hard work I put in now that will help my children in their future.
