Local: Is ex-council member Grayeb moving to Chi-town?

Chicago Blockshopper reported last month that former Peoria City Council member Charles Grayeb has bought a half-million-dollar condo in Chicago. Is this investment property, or will Grayeb be moving to the Windy City? The article notes that the property — located in the 1100 block of West Eddy, a block south of Addison — includes three three units, and that Grayeb still owns property in Peoria. So, I’m guessing it’s an investment. Grayeb is retired as a District 150 administrator.
Thanks to the tipster.

Who can blame Grayeb for moving? Peoria’s quality of life is circling the drain: no Kellar rec trail, higher taxes to pay for more police to harass motorists and peaceful demonstrators, an unconstitutional ordinance requiring landlords to police their own properties, regressive taxes (garbage tax not rescinded), District 150 building schools it can’t afford while closing schools that are paid for, Public TV in jeopardy, museum donations failed, zoo expansion dumped on taxpayers, and the locals can’t even agree on how to build an ice skating rink downtown to attract winter visitors to the river front. All Peoria has left is prayer. Time to move — or for new leadership!

What?! Ice skating rink? Who the Hell is talking about an ice skating rink?
Elaine:
Let me help you with your choice, move.
Contrary to what you may believe no trail is going to spur a new golden era.
All of your complaints are ridiculous and show how out of touch you are with reality.
“higher taxes to pay for more police to harass motorists and peaceful demonstrators”
Please, do you mean to tell me that you would be opposed to hiring more police officers to protect this community? That department has better things to do than harass decrepit hippies.
Just because YOU want public TV, just because YOU want a trail doesn’t mean everyone else does or that they are even worthwhile programs. I know that doesn’t make much sense in Socialist Land but that is reality. If you really care for these causes than maybe some thought should be put towards eliminating a blog that no one reads and spend that time volunteering more for these causes.
The JS has had a couple of stories on this ice rink topic. Brent Lonteen is one of the boosters thereof. When I was a wee tad, Glen Oak Park would flood a tennis court for one. And the Glen Oak Lagoon was also a popular skating site when the weather was cold enough. -Out sont les patinoires d’antan?-
Elaine, let me clue you in on the reasons a majority of people move out of Peoria: crime and schools.
It doesn’t have a damn thing to do about a trail or a failed museum effort or an ice skating rink or WTVP’s finanical woes.
Have you ever heard the phrase “one-trick pony”?
