The Chicago Christian Industrial League left Greektown so Daley pal Michael Marchese (top right) and his partners could build a condo development. The charity now can't afford to operate its $25 million new shelter (left) abd hired Illinois first lady Patti Blagojevich to raise money. (Al Podgorski/Sun-Times, AP)
Daley's clout deal puts homeless shelter in the red It was supposed to be a quintessential City Hall deal. Help the homeless. Remove an eyesore from a booming neighborhood. And help Mayor Daley’s pal build a multi-million-dollar condo development. The deal cost Chicago taxpayers at least $13.5 million. But it hasn’t worked out as planned. One of the city’s oldest homeless shelters left its crumbling home in Greektown for a new $25 million, state-of-the-art building.

Uptown Theatre in a Jam
David Roeder: Ald. Mary Ann Smith (48th) is encouraging a new deal involving control of the landmark Uptown Theatre, 4816 N. Broadway. What that means to the theater, empty for 25 years, or its current owner is anybody's guess, but Smith's move could be controversial. The Uptown's owner is concert promoter Jam Productions Inc., which with a partner put up $3.2 million last summer to get it in a foreclosure auction. Since then, Jam has battled in court over a $5 million reserve City Hall wants it to post to cover repairs.
