My four year stay comes to a close. A haunting stay to say the least. One of my favorite all time movies was out about 30 years ago, but I think remembered by many. It was called the 'Shining' starring Jack Nicholson. In so many ways that movie was a parallel to my stay here.
The Pavilion is like a big Haunted Hotel especially with it's long corriders. The manager of the building was like Jack Nicholson in that movie. She started out so nice and down to earth, but as time passed she slowly but surely got possessed by demons and has totally flipped out. My little son, looked so much like the boy character in this movie and kept warning me this place was deadly. It turned out to be just that for my wife, who died of asthma. Or at least that's the official cause of death. We know it was really from the mold in this apartment which kept making her worse after the management refused to fix it. Now black mold is now spreading all across the building. The crazy manager just laughed when I told her my wife passed on. The City of Chicago says mold isn't their responsibility.
But I do feel it's my responsibility to tell others to stay away from the Haunted Hotel known as the Pavilion. To take it one step further people would be advised to stay away from any Chicago property owned by a big corporation especially Forest City Enterprises. mgFDbN4-dhkSMZ7zRmVH
