THE STORY
Long before in car GPS, this glorious hunk of concrete was the ultimate beacon of hope for kids trapped in the backseat on endless family road trips. Rising right next to the Tri-State Tollway, the Concord Place Retirement Community meant one thing to tired families: almost home. (Even if the Eisenhower or Kennedy Expressway still had forty-five minutes of brake lights waiting for you.)
Constructed around 1968 as the O'Hareport Hotel, the property had a rough start financially after a promised but not delivered I-294 exit ramp. Over the years, it went through a major identity crisis, operating as a wedding venue, a boxing arena, and a licensing exam center before eventually being converted into senior housing.
If you grew up in the Chicagoland area, this building lives as rent free in your brain as the LUNA Carpet jingle.
