The PUBLIC PARKS are open until 2300, by your criteria boaters docked
there listening are moochers too.


Isn't partaking of something paid for by someone else your definition of
mooching?

The PUBLIC PARKS are open until 2300, no alcohol. The view is

a post by your friends of NORTHERLY ISLAND:

Meigs provides huge economic benefits to the downtown
business district of Chicago. Calculations based on a
1993
City of Chicago study indicate that--using extremely
conservative assumptions--Meigs contributes a minimum of

1,500 jobs and $57.3 million annually to the local
economy,
and perhaps 10 or more times those numbers.

A "calculation" thats "perhaps" wrong by a factor of TEN.



MDW is 8 miles to the southwest. 4800 West, 5500 South.

Midway is about four miles southwest.---Steven

What is YOUR EVIDENCE, do you process the mayor's tax return?


What is my evidence of what?

"The revenues from Clear Channel will find their way to Daley's
pocket."




Again, what's YOUR evidence that the CPD has a park surplus?


Look at a map. Most of the lakeshore is occupied by parks.

Most? Portions occupy the space between LSD and the lake, and portions
are private residencies and industrial. What's your standard for
adequate public parks, for 3 million people?
