Making no small bets

BELL'S RINGING: Now that Bank of America Corp. has completed its purchase of LaSalle Bank, developers should cast a covetous eye toward an interesting piece of excess corporate real estate. LaSalle owns a small building at 79 W. Monroe, the old flagship office of Bell Federal Savings and now home to a Walgreens. It figures to be a logical site for an office high-rise.

No matter what happens to that old building, the Weather Bell must be kept!

I don't think the Congress Hotel on Michigan is a great option. Yes, the place is a dump and an embarrassment. But it is an unpolished gem. With its location, I'd rather see a high end hotel.
