In my home town the McMenamin brothers are very successful taking old schools and turning them into hotel / theater / brew pub / restaurants.

- Why live in a house when you can live in apartment building that (in some cases) has a pool, theater, hot tub, gym and many other amenities?

(Britt Theater)Ashland - WINNER to me, but like Jacksonville I think I would do short term rentals there, take advantage of Shakespeare festival (Fall/Winter), Britt Theater (Spring/Summer - Jacksonville), and Mountain Skiing in the Winter.

Check out Desert Beacon her name is Anita she’s also with The Lobby in downtown 29

Even now, I have a PO Box I visit maybe 3 times a year - catches all the marketing materials everyone wants to send me. 99% of it goes from my PO Box to the trash can near the door, before I even leave the lobby. 

I can't see what good they are except as security theater unless you have someone watching 24/7.

Chicago is a great place to live, work, offers higher income options,  world class entertainment, fine dining,  theaters,  arts, etc. 

NO entertainment business allowed (i.e. ax throwing, theater, bowling, music or alcohol) Desired Businesses: Pharmacies, Medical/ Retail Sales, Insurance, Engineering, Salon/Spa, Government Agencies, Tax/Accounting Firms, Attorney, etc. 

So this is not my kind of Hotel to stay at, but when I seen it I immediately thought this is the kind of Hotel I would go to have an upscale business breakfast (and less often an upscale business lunch) during the week.Show up, park, go inside sit in a nice lobby, a waitress offers me a free coffee in a cup and saucer, while I and other businessmen (so few ladies seem to do this) sit and wait for the Restaurant to open at 7am or whenever.This works if the Clientele of the Hotel matches the intended restaurant customer. 

We kept track of the equipment, supplies, and testing numbers across the theater, to include bases run by the Italians, Germans, and Australians.
