I happened to be in Chicago last week for an international real estate class. Marcus Wally, of New World Realty and Property Management, Inc., from St. Augustine, Florida was the instructor. Marcus is one of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® faculty members for the CIPS program and facilitates these classes all over the globe. This passion for International has led him to a number of global cities including Rome, Paris, Riga, Puerto Rico, New York and a host of others. It was a great class & I look forward to another full week of international real estate classes with Marcus later this month - right here in the Fingerlakes, upstate New York, where I live! The colors of autumn will be in full bloom by then!
At the same time there was a "topping off" party of the Trump Building. People were buzzing everywhere! In addition, at the hotel I stayed, there was a seminar going on with some high ranking internet people there. I got to meet & hang out with a few of them. I have read about some of these internet marketers on the web & to meet them in person was exciting for me.
Note the photo of everyone in the street. Chicago doesn't seem to struggling with the economy, at least in the retail sector. All the stores were full. The stock market was down something like 700 points that day - but still the streets were full in the shopping district.
The Trump Tower soars 92 stories. This building of polished stainless steel and iridescent tinted glass is a sight to see.
Chicago’s skyline will never be the same.
