3 Dog Pat

add into that designs have to be submitted soon. IIRC, MMPI has to submit designs to CC for approval

I wonder if it the same guys from Johnny's downtown. If so, I imagine it would be more of a classic cocktail type lounge. But that is just speculation.

Out of school I was hired at Parker. They sent a group of us to 9 weeks of training in California, which was nice. On the last day of training they laid us all off, not so nice. The next week, I headed to my old division in Pittsburg to clean out my desk. I became my own bartender, and told myself to cry in my beer tonight because tomorrow would be a better day. That day I said that to myself was September 10th, 2001. (I f*cking hate Parker) Sorry, 8 years later and still mad. Back to Eaton :)

^that was my point on the last page. The conventional wisdom for people above 50 (generally) is parking equals prosperity

KJP, what would you give odds on a BRT being included in the OC?

At least Eaton tried to stay in the city. Parker bolted to the other side of 271 without a backwards glance

The problem with Eaton is the decision makers are old white people who genuinely feel that suburban sprawl is impressive

My vote has been Detroit Shoreway for the past 3 years

What neighborhood in Chicago do you live in now? Which one is your ideal? We may be able to match you up that way. I used to live on Southport, Roscoe Village, Lincoln Park, and south loop. A lot of my friends are Beverly rats.

^practicing you jerk skills? :)

Anywhere along the Brown line is good. My favorite street, where I used to live, is Southport Ave. The Indians will be playing at Wrigley, so there will be a bunch of Clevelanders in the area. Millenium Park is cool, go see the bean.

^Hotel? WHAAA?

DocBroc, When I was in Chicago, my busses would always wind up bunching. It is not a unique problem to the RTA, it may be inherent to the process. (gave you some enginerd speak there :)

I think it is a great, well thought out idea

when my brother ran the little bar and grille in the mid 90s, Mr. Jacobs would be known to stop in after a big win and buy drinks for the house.

^Thanks Mayor McCleveland Thanks LaFont, but I used to be a Chicagoan, and I am familiar with the plantings. You are right, they are beautiful, but they take a lot of man hours to maintain. When I would bartend in the south loop, I would walk to River North after work for a late night drink and see about 10-15 people watering, weeding, etc.

"ponzi" (I just wanted to join in, since we were getting off topic anyways)

Are there pics anywhere online?

^Awesomeness Hey is melt still doing that much business?

Didn't they just complete a Midtown master plan? Are they looking to change it already?

^Pfft :roll:, what kind of football team would they have with only 120 students. KJP, you have to think before you post!

Thanks, I hope the "new" ODOT is looking at this

I am not sure if this has been talked about on this thread or others, but what would the cost be to incorporate a light rail system onto a newly constructed street?

Well, I guess you can't please everyone
