Meet George Thrush, Part 2 -- early lofts, Woodlawn homes

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 second part of a 10-part series Thrush talks about his loft developments -- some of the earliest in the city -- and his involvement in building the first new homes in Woodlawn in more than 40 years.
