@Rose Lover ... Having trouble figuring out why Obama doesn't like these homeowners? Purchase price $847,000 is out of reach of the middle class and falls squarely in the lap of all those nasty folks that have gone to school, worked hard, established successful careers, and/or started businesses .... And haven't paid their "fair share" when examined through the ideology of the Divider-In-Chief.   more ›

Now, to me, that's a "Wow House". I've been in a number of McDonald's homes. I don't recall if we saw that one on one of the "Wright and Like" tours we are on, or not. I know he has others in the Racine area. Considering what one would pay for a Wright home of a similar nature, that's a bargain price. Of the contemporaries of Wright in that period of his career, McDonald seemed to come closest in…   more ›
