Having lived for years in Toronto and for a short time in Chicagoland,
I don't think that there is much chance of loosing Toronto island
airport. Unlike Chicago, Toronto lakeshore is very well developed with
already considerable park space, exhibition grounds, Ontario place, CN
tower etc. the place has a lot of variety, the airport being a part of
that, that Torontonians are proud of it. It also brings business
directly to downtown. I loved to view the aircraft come and go from the
CN tower. The mentality there is different from strong arm Al Capone
(Daley).


The mentality may be different, but the lakeshore sounds similar. Most of
the Chicago lakeshore was already parks.
