Few to zero planes to relocate because there weren't any hangers...the country clubbers can use MDW...JG N0 -- just people bringing $billions to Chicago every year! Stupid people like "jgrove" are so myopic that they don't realize that those multi-million dollar jets are there for a purpose -- to do business. Are they flying those "$billions" in pallets loaded with Currency, ala the missings $6 BILLION in Iraq ?? Meanwhile, he and his buddies go to the new park and smoke dope at the rock concerts. Never used it, but I prefer that smell to the stench of Cigs. For future reference, the BarFlys in the Viagra triangle prefer sailboats, 40 Foot minimum..JG |

When I was in California, the Division of Aeronautics conducted (at the prodding of CA Pilots' Assn.) economic surveys of GA airports to determine economic benefits. At that time (1980s) the average benefit was around $100K per based airplane! Some airports (Palm Springs, for instance) were much higher, while some very small airports were less. Did these "Researchers" also conclude that Catsup was a Vegetable for bonzo reagan ?? The opponents (mostly developers and eco-Nazis) did not like to hear this news, so they lobbied against further studies. |

: : On the other hand, perhaps we'd best give Chicago the pain it deserves by : helping the Olympics to be there. Humid summers can cause physical harm for some atheletes, as a Chicagoan I'd prefer it in LA. Atlanta is still hated by visitors subjected to crazy right wing bombers, Hill-Billy rural deputies unable to handle urban crowds and sorry *ss transportation. THE Olympic Prez called it a "most unique" event instead of the standard "Best Games Ever". Nasty rumor, I'm sure. I saw a news story with an artist's rendering of what the shoreline would look like there at old Meigs and Soldier field... Northerly Island is used as a site for some venue in the sketches. Maybe some OG $$ can be used to clean up the toxic CHEMICALS dumped by years of chuck yeager wannabe vandalism. |
