Storied real estate developer George Thrush turns 80 in November. He's still active in 2 major projects, and still open to adding to the more than 50 developments he's undertaken in pioneering areas of Chicago. Thrush sat down with YoChicago's Joe Zekas the other day to tell some stories, savor some achievements, and share some insights on emerging neighborhoods. In this third part of a 10-part series Thrush talks why he's often developed in areas that prompted people to say "you must be crazy to be in that neighborhood."
