Why the Famous ‘Candyland House’ Will Still Make You Smile
To get their new house in Rogers Park, Joe Bergantino and Ricky Gonzalez wrote the owner a letter promising to retain the house’s funky spirit. It’s known as the “Candyland House” because of its pink, yellow, teal, and white striped exterior and interior. Bergantino and Gonzalez have been renovating the house and documenting it on their Homos with Hammers Instagram. City Cast Chicago’s Carrie Shepherd took a tour this summer with the couple, and nearly a year after they bought it, Bergantino and Gonzalez give us an update on how things are going.
