  3. Thank you HGTV for choosing Chicago. The city with Big Shoulders is captivating. And, Vern, the bedroom you designed was FAB-U-LOUS!!!!!! I hope you don't mind if I steal a few ideas from your designs of the Condo. I love Chicago and would love to WIN so I can come home to Chi-Town.

  4. Years ago, when I was attending business school at the University of Chicago, I attended a party in an apartment nearby. The view is gorgeous most of the time, but truly spectacular at night.

  6. My job takes me to many cities in the US and Chicago rates as #1. I love this city and watched Trump Tower being built. All my co-workers and friends know my dream for the last 5 years has been to live in Chicago at least 6 months in my life. I am dreaming BIG now and thinking this is the opportunity to live where my heart wants to be.

  7. Hi if I win this beautiful home. I'm going to make Mr. Vip some cashew brittle and those chocolate Marshmallow cracker things. Because he deserves it. It's such a nice place. I wonder if the stove can handle it being electric. I never cooked on electric Before. I wonder if the TV is online too.
    Because if it is then I'm going to listen Vocaloid music ! And watch Vocaloid Videos all night long. It will be so fun! :D
    oh yeah Haku is super cute always!

  8. I loved reading about all of the talented people who were involved with Chicago's "Urban Oasis". From inception to its completion, I was impressed with the entire process. Now, I've taken it one step further, I see myself being greeted by a pair of first class doormen at Chicago's Trump Tower around holiday time! Thanks, HGTV for doing a great job!
