Marina City, a high end condo development in Chicago, has its own website MarinaCityOnline. “We’ve got it all: sex, crime, corruption,” said Michael Michalak, a real estate broker inside Marina City who is the site’s sole advertiser. “But it’s also a great place to live.” The condo board has fined the writers, who are also residents, $2,000 and banned them from reporting on condo meetings.
