I'm just the teensiest bit sad to see SC Johnson opening a spot in Chicago. The company stayed in Racine and continued to invest in that city handsomely for decades, even through the deindustrialization in the last 40 years. Truly, the small Midwestern city is dead. Even the "success stories" are getting less successful every year.

I love Chicago and big cities in general, but I'm seriously wondering if the city can remain healthy long-term when it is surrounded by such a struggling region. You don't even need to leave the city to realize that we are still very much in the Rust Belt.
