Meigs Field Today

Mark my words. It's just a matter of time till that
island becomes a casino.

Wait until you see how nice empty city streets are over the long run.

Oh... NOT! G

It is to weep.

It is so hard to view that picture. Meigs was *SO* cool, and such a
great place to land, I just want to cry when I see what King Daley
hath wrought.

Mary and I haven't been back toChicagosince his terrorist attack on
Meigs, and we never will return, so long as he's in office. I figure
ifChicagois populated by people so stupid that they "re-elect"
someone like Daley, they certainly don't deserve any of our money.

It's a small protest, sure, but I figure it's over $10K by now, given
the conferences and weekend getaways we've skipped. Multiply that
times 400K pilots...

Still hard to make a right turn on Mich. Ave. too many darn peds. &
the traffic aides
don't work weekends.

Daley's economic development efforts are paying off!

That site is to convoluted for high volume traffic access and too far
from transit.

The old empty central post office sits over I-290, a subway and near
commuter rail. It would be the best choice with potential for a nice
pirate battle on the river..JG

This happens to airports all over the United States every year. Get used
to it. It's a matter of time until your favorite strip is converted into
a mall or casino.
