Move those factories to the south side along Halstead, provide jobs for people who really need them.
As a river city Chicago has the potential to be up there with the greats. Think about it: Venice, Amsterdam, St. Petersburgh, Chicago. Sounds silly? I think

As cool as that may be, the bids are in, and the three proposals is what we have....... Unlikely anything significantly changes moving forward.
I was originally really into 78, but Tribune has slowly warmed up to me. I think having the casino at the Tribune site will help muscle up the river corridor to connect downtown and LY.
