Dating is like apartments here in Chicago (or, I guess, most citys for that matter). Of course there's the fixer-upper, who, if you have the time and energy to put into them, you could walk away with a great deal. There's the new construction, which is pretty enough, but it looks like all the other new condos, and it just doesn't have the same history and structure as older buildings. There's the gut-rehab with a new kitchen and bathroom, and hardwood floors; this one may come with some quirks and issues, but overall, it's the best for my money. There's also the highrise, which is tall, chic, and gives a great view, but really, not everybody needs all that. And then of course there's just your basic rental; two bedrooms, good living space, and you're very happy with it. On second though, maybe dating is like cheese fries.
