Sample Chatter Excerpts
Glasgow to Los Angeles via Chicago - How does customs work?
I am booked with a 90 min layover in Chicago a week from Thursday and I am very definitely calling American Airlines to change my flight from Heathrow to one earlier in the day. Even in the best of times it is a tight connection and even though the flight is over a week away, I still think flights out of Heathrow will be experiencing delays then. source
Favorite Chicago Satellite Cities?
Both Gary and Waukegan have Lake Michigan shoreline. This should be a tremendous asset, but it has not been. They are formerly heavy industry cities with low-income, blue collar residents. Somehow they have never been able to shake that past and transform themselves into being a part of the new economy. The changes are beginning to happen, but it has been a long time coming and is still slow. Heavy industry also dominated Elgin, Aurora, and Joliet. Joliet's transformation has been hampered by a location on the southwest corridor, perhaps the most uninspiring and monotonous direction of sprawl from the city center. Elgin and Aurora are clearly the most vibrant of the cities. Early on, I think they competed more evenly in terms of their promise. I tend to agree, though, that Aurora currently has the edge. source
Oprah leaving Chicago?

Graphic Design future in Chicago or New York?
I taught college-level design courses and, as a teacher, and one who has hired people in the past, I look at their portfolio first. I can tell very quickly if they are talented or do the type of work I need done. So, getting a degree isn't necessarily the "end all" here. source
Will Chicago ever have a late 1920's highrise building boom again?
The late 1920s were the very definition of irrational exuberance. Extending the historical growth rate indefinitely into the future, people thought Chicago was destined to become the largest city in the world. They didn't foresee the wartime industrialization of the South, the invention of air conditioning, easy mortgages for working-class families, or the growth of Southern California. To answer your question, though, I think the retirement of Baby Boomers could spark another hundred residential highrises downtown by 2050. I predict fewer than a dozen office highrises in that same time period. source
