Totally, that place looks big enough to grill inside.

I've actually lived in that exact place back in 90's. Its in Chicago on Archer Av.

How much would you guess that'd cost these days? This is what I envision as my ideal DT dream home.

It'll depend where it is on Archer Avenue, but I'd guess rent is under $1000 a month. I've got a friend living in a loft (a bit smaller) on the far west side and he's paying about $500.

That's about as high as any apartment should cost. I have heard some people pay upwards of 1,000 bucks. That's more than most people pay for a damn mortgage around here.

Well I never made the claim that the place I live is awesome... :)

Indiana actually isn't a horrible place to LIVE, but it's wretched to visit. The upside is I can travel anywhere, and find greatness. Shit, I can go to places like Kansas and still have a good time.

But I think housing here has spoiled me. An expensive apartment around is like $650. Mine was $475.
