Vandals Spray-Pain Gold Coast Home

Gold Coast residents beware--taggers are on the loose!

According to the Chicago police, street artists left at least three graffiti designs on the rear brick wall of a coach house in the neighborhood. Officers said the taggers spray-painted the coach house behind the protective cover of a tarp, tearing it off only when their work as completed. According to the Chicago Tribune, builders have been working on this multimillion-dollar home for two years now.

Lake Shore Drive Residents Receive New Address

On Feb. 1, 1000 N. Lake Shore Plaza residents received a surprising letter from the U.S. Postal Service--their street address was now changed by the City of Chicago to 130 E. Oak St. 

According to the Chicago Tribune, since the early 1900s, 1000 Lake Shore has been established as the leading address to members of Chicago Society. And while Oak Street is also known for its prestige, many argue that it's no Lake Shore Drive.

So Gold Coast residents, what do you think about this sudden change of address?
