Has anyone been to the new ZuZu's?

[srt4b]

4000ft2 in the center of Highland Park has to run 10-15k per month. Would have to do 100k/wk in Tea sales to make any money there. Guess he planning on other events and retail in the future. The whole thing seems nice but a massive money suck.

WGN nice interview here. Bill seems to respect this guy and he asks some reasonable question.

[Ram27]

might just be a hobby thing for him. that's where the CYR vinyl sales go

[slunken]

where's chloe? team chloe.

[slunken]

i could not get through that entire 20 min video

[srt4b]

Bill says he is there eating every day. Does he live close by?

[slunken]

[enthusaroo]

that reuban looks pretty badass tbh

Holy moly, Bill's Estate is massive and larger than about everything in Highland Park including Public Parks, Synagogs, etc. He actually owns the house in front too that is surrounded by his property. He;'s getting a great deal on taxes as well, valued at 2,5m. Looks like actual value is close to 15m.

i guess it's all free ('free') food he likes

[LaBelle]

I'm here right now, when are you arriving?

[themadcaplaughs]

He mentioned in the past he lost big amounts of money to the old ZuZu's location. I cannot imagine it has gotten any better with an even bigger location which opened during a national pandemic.

[VoxUpDoc]

Zuzu’s 4.0 is really gonna nail it.

Zuzu’s opening in your home town soon.

Also how is the tea there? Does it measure up to British tea?

[FoolofaTook]

What is this "British tea" you speak of? Does it measure up to Turkish tea?

I was in a mansion of comparable size once on a weeklong packing job as part of a relocation. That was in a suburb of Minneapolis, and it was valued at 4.5 million.

I'd be absolutely astounded if a comparable property in Highland Park wasn't worth more than that. Plus it's on the fucking lake.

Yeah, he has a good tax guy or friend in city council or whatever.

He probably made that much every show of the Shiny tour. It’s really chump change for him.

That's a great suit. Manages to pull off a buttoned up shirt with no tie.

Billy's gonna flip when he sees Netphoria posting his address.

Meh, It's public info, You can just type his name into the Highland Park GIS.

[incubator]

yes us hardcore true fans have known this for ages and regularly camp outside his house to smoke weed, play Mayonaise badly over and over again on acoustic guitars, go through his bins and loudly applaud whenever we see or hear any movement in or around the house.

Tax assessed values is nearly always a joke compared to market value. The assessed value of my house is anywhere from 33%-50% of its actual appraised value. It has nothing to do with knowing someone it's just the way it's done. Local government nationwide is basically full of real estate investors so shit like this is just the way things work.

[killtrocity]

Maybe that's just how it's done in Illinois. 33%?? I know the goal is to get the tax value down, but that's, like, extreme. Well good job!

In trying to trash a conservative they actually explain local governments are a joke furthering the conservatives view that government should be limited as much as possible. Ever deal with your local tax auditors office? Some of the absolute worst people in the country work at these places and none of it makes sense, they do everything they can to send you away.
