Pack it up: Sneed has learned the Chicago Police Department is getting a new roommate: The Fire Department.
◆ To wit: The Fire Department is abandoning its high-price lease on two floors of a building owned by the Illinois Institute of Technology at 10 W. 35th Street — and moving one block away into Chicago Police headquarters at 3510 S. Michigan, late next month, a source tells Sneed. Moving boxes have already arrived.
◆ Name Game: “The conjecture is the building will be renamed the Chicago Public Safety Building,” said the source.
◆ $$$$: “It’s an efficiency move . . . it was talked about when Mayor Daley was in office, but it became serious when Rahm took over,” he added.
◆ A cop/fireman rivalry? “Everyone hopes everyone will get along,” said the source.
