Casino Time!

  • Two aldermen are floating the idea of putting a casino and entertainment complex where Chicago had hoped to build an Olympic Village for the 2016 Games.

    [...] In the week since the city lost its Olympic bid to Rio de Janeiro, Daley has said he is confident the 37-acre parcel site of the abandoned Michael Reese Hospital would be attractive to developers. The city recently bought the Near South Side site for $91 million but it hopes to resell it to private developers before the first mortgage payment is due in five years.

    The casino pitch from City Council members seems likely to be only the first of many proposals.
First up, the contention that no taxpayer money was spent on the "NOlympics" falls apart with the admission that $91 million was spent by the City on the property.

Second, expect a whole boatload of proposals for casinos to be floated around shortly. Shortshanks is desperate for cash to fill a growing hole in his budgets. We still expect the final site to be closer to downtown than the Reese property though.

I would expect it to be closer to downtown also. But that property is right down the pike from McCormick Place. I would just like to know what nephew is going to buy it for half price or less.

Opening a casino at the Michael Reese campus could mean additional excitement for out of town visitors, like being accosted by the fine CPS "honor students", bangers,crack heads, and other mutts..What can you expect from a bunch of overpaid alderthieves with room temperature IQs?

I hate this city and all its contents. I hate the day I signed up for this job and most of all, I hate myself for buying a place and trapping myself here.

I hate working without a contract, I hate these criminals running this once wonderful city, I hate these criminals that have more rights than I do. I hate being wrong all the time, even when I know I'm right.

I hate 19 year olds on disability for ADHD, I hate paying for peopoe who have never lifted a finger and cannot be bothered to finish high school to "prosper," which in their community have a fancy new ride with rims/tints/sounds which is nicer than my car.

I hate Jesse Jackson et. al. who blame the understaffed PO-leese for the stupidity of these "students." I hate that I have to pay taxes for my car, my home, my gas, my food, etc and it goes to fund a link card or a section 8.

I hate seeing a 2 year old out at 10 PM because his mommy wanted to go out and get some wings. I hate that his daddy is going to get in a domestic at 4AM with a different woman.

I hate that I was raised to never see any of this, but here i am, realizing how the other part of this city lives.

I hate that we have ZERO rights. I hate copwatch. I hate being a target. I hate being judged for a split second decision and the only people who back me up are part of the police family. I hate that Bill Cozzi is locked away in a federal prison, miserable, sad, and alone. I hate that we have to factor in a lawsuit, CR#, losing our homes, losing our jobs, losing our freedom, many, many times a day.

In other news... Oh wait, nothing good to report.

Just a casino?

"Imagine" this: Granted, make it large enough that tourism brings in more than money than all of Vegas and Monte Carlo combined.

Then, for the sake of the beleagured taxpayers, it's time to bring Amsterdam and Bangkok to Chicago big-time.

Open up a huge three-tiered brothel, the top-tier being the finest centerfold quality whores that money can buy with strict medical hygiene in place.

Add both domestic and exotic cannabis sales with a market price range that starts at domestic seeds, stems and skunkweed to the gooiest sinsemilla buds the world has to offer, the THC content being commensurate with the price.

While I'm essentially conservative on many issues, I go lib big-time on this. With appropriate regulation and Daley-free accountancy, then...

TAX THE BEJESUS OUT OF IT-- to the point that Chicagoans will not pay a cent in city, county or state taxes.

They should have put a casino into Navy Pier a long time ago. It has access to Lake Michigan and perfect for all the high-rollers on the lake to cruise in with their 50-foot yachts and play slots and the craps tables. It could pull in people from surrounding states.

That makes a real world-class city. Some of you don't think so????

Back in Dec. 2007, I did research on all the Olympic Cities (held since 1890s) and funny thing - they ALL have casinos in the city. (BTW - I just checked, so does Rio)

http://www.midwestbusiness.com/news/viewnews.asp?newsletterID=18479&page=1

Any correlation???? How many on the City's Olympic Committee were in favor of a casino? How many are now?

A casino with live gambling right here in Chicago. Fantastic. What could go wrong?

Of course the usual people can be expected to wet their beak. Let's get some tents erected fast, I am sure we can get some gaming tents or trailers up and running by Halloween.

Who will handle security? Some former mayoral body guards perhaps? Maybe Michael Scott will turn up magically with land to sell back to the city.

You know the vanecko and allison davis names will be in their somewhere.

And daley can appoint someone to watch over it, you know, to make sure it is all on the up and up, all legit. Maybe ed burke. Yeah, that's it, the finance committee chair, that's it.

yeah, gambling in Chicago, watched over by the city council. Perfect.

I, most likely, would not be a user of either the brothel or the cannabis, but have long held to all the ideas put forth in your plan. You have common sense.

Plus, the legalization would give the drug lords an immediate economic collapse with no bailout coming their way. The increase in tax money scored by taxing the hell out of both, added to the money saved from less drug law enforcement on all levels of government, and we have finally come into the 21st century.

With the revenue generated there COULD be a decent RAISE for POLICE, there could be a reduction in lets say VEHICLE STICKERS and there COULD BE a reduction in Sales Tax in Chicago. Oh WAIT sorry,,,,,forgot we were talking about Daley here. Cant get enough of the green. My bad. But it was a nice hallucination.

If the feds aren't going to put the Stuttering Prick in the joint soon, can't they put him in a straitjacket and haul him off to an insane asylum. Why should this arrogant moron have so much control over our lives? The City Council is nothing more than his rubber stamp. He does whatever he damn well pleases with no accountability whatsoever. Please sweet Jesus!

I think you are beginning to catch on. He has been king here since 1989. And a small handful of inbred cocksuckers from Bridgeport keep him elected and scare off any potential challenger.

The Feds should have plenty evidence to indict him but for some unknown reason they do not.

Don't worry though, when he is finished being mayor here, he will tell you who the next mayor will be.

FYI: Every square foot of the McCormick Place East Building is wired for use as a casino. That work was done a few years ago according to a friend who works there. Keep your eyes open, that's where your casino will be.

How sad is it when I'm driving off duty next to a 017 Dist Tact car and witness a drug deal and they do nothing. I don't even think they know what they are looking for. I tried to wave them down unsuccessfully. I know, we don't have a contract and I should of taken it upon myself to grab the car and the seller. MY BAD! Pathetic.

Jesus! U r on your way home and u try to get involved in that shit? Are you nuts?? You have to be one of those 2 year wonders. Listen junior, unless it's a fellow officer in need of help, put the blinders on and GO HOME! If you insist on getting involved, use your cell phone and dial 911. Give a description of the offenders and location.

Why put yourself in a probable trick bag, off duty, for minor shit like that?

I guess you arent familiar with what goes on in that building. Due to the trade shows that go on there they have hundreds if not thousands of booths there during a show. These booths all have devices that need power. That means there are outlets in the floor everywhere to power the booths. SO that is why the building is wired the way it is.

Olympics aint happening so lets go to Plan B! A Casino, yeah thats the ticket! All Daley's cronies need to be taken care of so since the Olympics be gone lets strip the citizens of their weekly paychecks! Read my lips, No more Taxes but "place your bets everyone" Im gonna get in your wallets anyway I can! Daley's swan song is about to begin! Ryan will definitely be onboard this one, quietly though! Watch closely the next few weeks! Daley was for it before he was against it!

Casino, hell.

Other insanity spotted tonight in 025 --

You can finally see what they're slapping together on the southeast corner of Fullerton and Narragansett -- IT'S ANOTHER BANK, God help us. That will make THREE at that intersection.

Grand and Harlem -- the northeast corner is coming down, all the old two-story 1920s buildings with the brave "luxury condominiums coming" signs that have begun peeling off in the weather. Used to be an "Andes Candies" store right on the corner ca. 1940s-- you can still see this in the terrazzo at the door -- then a Fannie Mae Candies, then...nothing.

My guess? Whoever is stuck with the buildings doesn't want to pay taxes on them, and it's vacant-lot time. Who the hell would give you construction financing for more condominiums today?

How did you modify it, by attaching a French tickler?

Hmmmmm, So when WAS the last time there was a show of any type at McCormick East? Probably before it was wired for casino machines.
I'm just sayin'
