Public records do not yet show the buyers of the 5,734-square-foot condo, which had been listed for $8.66 million, and real estate agent Giancarlo Chavez, who represented the buyers, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Year-to-date, the condo’s sale price trails only an 8,229-square-foot Lincoln Park mansion that sold in an off-market deal in February for $12.5 million; the 26th-floor penthouse in the building at 840 N. Jean Baptiste Point DuSable Lake Shore Drive, which sold in June for $11.25 million; a six-bedroom, an 11,000-square-foot Lincoln Park mansion that sold in February for $9.5 million; and a five-bedroom, 8,000-square-foot penthouse on the 38th and 39th floors of the Lincoln Park 2550 building, which sold in January for $9 million.

Yes, I think something shifts this week. I don’t think Nagy would introduce the idea that everything is being inspected and weighed, knowing the message that sends, and then do nothing. The biggest change he could make is handing off play-calling duties to offensive coordinator Bill Lazor, something he did last season before the Week 10 game with the Minnesota Vikings. Nagy announced in the offseason he would be the play caller again this season, and he did so because he’s the head coach, he believes he’s highly qualified in that area and if it’s his job on the line, he’s going to pilot the ship. But with the Bears struggling badly, he might cede responsibilities to Lazor again with the hope that a different perspective could lead to an offensive bump. Otherwise, if he continues as play caller and the offense remains broken, he’s exposed and vulnerable even for an organization that, as I said above, never has fired a coach in season. We’ll see if the team has an announcement Wednesday or Thursday, but a shift to Lazor as the play caller would not surprise me. If Nagy wasn’t willing to seriously consider this, I doubt he would have said “everything is on the table.” It’s possible when he said it, a move was already in the works.

“However, just as the Bears view this as a business decision so does the City. This season, Soldier Field signed a major contract with the Chicago Fire and just last weekend Soldier Field hosted the Shamrock Series – both of which are lucrative for the Chicago Park District and local economy. These examples and others demonstrate that Soldier Field remains a very sought-after venue, and, as the Mayor has said many times, overall, the City and Park District must explore all options to both enhance the visitor and fan experience at Soldier Field year-round and maximize revenues. Therefore, we must do what’s in the best economic interests of our taxpayers and maximize the financial benefits at the important asset that is Soldier Field. As for the Bears, the Mayor has said numerous times, our door in City Hall remains open to engage the Bears.”

Children and teens are vulnerable, and that’s why there are laws to protect them. Students are vulnerable to the power dynamic regarding the adults who are supposed to respect and protect them, and that’s why it is against the law (and school policy) for teachers and school staff to have sex with them.
