Huh? WLCO was in the NIMBY game for years before NOWL existed. I remember them coming out hard against any tall new buildings west of the Kennedy in the late days of Mayor Daley. Then they softened to "no tall buildings west of Halsted" after Skybridge went up.
When Rahm came in, he basically opened the floodgates in Fulton Market. Morgan stop was built, Google and McDonalds came in. WLCO mellowed out under new leadership, so the most hardcore NIMBYs founded NOWL as a splinter cell.
