That always seemed like a too-convenient excuse to me, they were able to double the size of South Loop Elementary.
Of course, if no school gets built, then families with school-age children are probably gonna avoid LSE and go to other areas where schools are more convenient - even though LSE with its ample open space would seem to be ideal for kids vs. a more concrete jungle environment.

We have school aged children here in the East Loop but I see more in the South Loop. . . has to do with a) Jones College Prep b) British School c) Dearborn Park d) Roosevelt Road xfers and e) skateboard park at the south end of Grant Park. . . seems like the South Loop is a more well rounded urban environment for that than the East Loop. . .
