You will be able to travel from Chicago to Midway by just staying in the terminal (no need to get on a flight).

Ya. But you can always take those horizontal escalators. If they work...and if they had any.

This will bring significant economic growth to the area. Plus next to the $250B+ that Landrieu and Blanco are demanding, this $15B is chump change.

Chicago is in no way comparable to NO. It may be almost as corrupt but that is about the only valid comparison.

BTW you might want to check on how to use "to" and "too" since you obviously don't know.

Actually there is a valid comparison.

Ran by crime families.

Both demo rat run, both should have never been built, both have engineered river flows.

Both have had major death counts in a short period of time, one reported nationally, one that wasn't.

Chicago doesn't have a race pimp in charge, but will if JJ Junior runs.

More alike than different.

Daley is going to get indicted some day. What an absolute tool this guy is. Always dreaming up new ways to steal more money from the taxpayers via new fees, taxes and parking restrictions. The guy is a clown.

What Chicagoland needs is a 3rd airport out west, where a lot of the population is moving. Heck, the people of Naperville could probably support their own airport.

Instead, we'll get O'Hare becoming even more of a pain in the ass while its under construction. All the while Daley and his goomba friends get rich.

Was there last week by mistake.

That won't happen again.

I live 90 minutes away, no reason to go there, hate to run 80 to the south when I go east.

I have found one thing I like about Chicago WLS between 1100-1400 M-F Use to like from 5-9 on Saturday but now have to put up with it from 5-8 Saturday.

Chicago a city that needs a an enema and won't get it unless they elect the race pimp JJ Junior and turns it into Detroit west.

"a plan that requires destruction of hundreds of homes."

I wonder what kind of wonderful offers these lucky folks can look forward to ?

New Orleans was a rathole Chicago is not.

Chicago is far better run than NO or most other big cities for that matter. Our criminals are at least competent. NO's are pathetically incompetent.

I hope your ability to comprehend other things is better than this example.

Even more importantly, there's a cemetary with 1300 tombs. Will they still be able to vote?

There was a perfectly good air strip downtown on lake Michigan that was destroyed for no good reason (a park for the mayors wife?).
