In article .com,
wet the bed and puked:
You STILL haven't addressed the question of "Why Northerly Island, when
Chicago has so many other, better parks?"
Simply can't justify fencing off 78 acres for 50 aircraft users per
day. At $10 million/acre
market rate, the Walmart heirs could easily afford to make an
offer--$780 miillion and its
yours.
OH? And just how much does a park cost to maintain and run?
BTW, if Meigs had been run like a proper airport, rather than being
starved and harassed to death, it would have been a jewel on the
Lakefront. Daley and his crowd simply didn't want any kind of airport
there -- end of discussion.
