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.

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.
