Get Ready for More of This

  • Like so many families in Chicago and beyond, Dick Cagney has made countless memories over the years at White Pines Resort, a rustic retreat nestled in a state park roughly 100 miles west of the city.

    The Wilmette resident started going to White Pines some 35 years ago, when his oldest son was just 7. Visits with all four of his kids became an almost annual ritual. They’d stay in a log cabin and tell stories around the campfire. After a long day’s hike, they’d dine on chicken pot pie and peach cobbler in the lodge’s restaurant.

    “Sometimes we’d sit on the hood of the car and just look up at the stars,” Cagney recalled.

    He was thinking about making another visit to the Mount Morris property later this year, this time with his grandchildren in tow. But on Wednesday, Cagney heard the news that came like a gut punch to so many of White Pines’ loyal guests: The resort’s longtime owner, Beth George, said she has no choice but to close and file for bankruptcy because of the prolonged shutdowns tied to the pandemic.
We are going to see a lot more family run, old time business endeavors go under in the months ahead.

As Gov Fatass would probably say, “oh fucking well ... that’s one less hotel that will compete against the Hyatt chain.”

Maybe that’s the plan? Governor Triple X is corporate America, a born corporate billionaire. ThIs is his Obamacare. The insurance companies wrote the Affordable Care Act which cost them money in the first 3 years, but doubled their value and tripled their profits since. Push the little guys from the table and the pie is all mine. All these big politicians are corporate owned or own corporations.

The Democrats have realized that the Coronavirus gives them the power to bankrupt Republican small business owners, while making them pay the full salaries of idled Democratic patronage workers, teachers, and professors.

That's a real shame, my family went there long ago. The family run, old time businesses will be hardest hit by this. They simply have no more time on the clock to wait, no real assurance of a massive bail out for them or even a sign when this democratic strangle hold will end. Ren and Stimpy would like this to go on until November. They love playing the dictator role. Desperate individuals facing urgent money problems will also be forced to go against the grain or go under. Coppers should stand down to these tyrannical orders Le Groot. That unstable mound of muck who calls himself governor has no money worries. That short-tempered, psychotic, Chihuahua, known as our mayor also has a nice sized paycheck despite her lamebrain ideas. These two dipsticks need to go, they need to be removed from office. But good luck with that in this city and state. Those that stayed home or voted for these two, well I can't really muster a tear for your current plight.

This is a planned for factor in the Lockdown. Independent Businesspeople are notoriously Conservative and Republican Voters. What better way to denigrate and destroy a Republican voter and donor base?

Yes, many of your independent businesses are going to be destroyed. Too damned many of the owners will self destruct with booze, drugs, behaviors, or suicide too. This lockdown is going to have a bigger body count from self destruction than from the rona.

Don't worry, this will have no impact on the tax revenues collected by the City of Chicago and the State.

Remember that last tiny little property tax increase? Yes, it is tiny compared to what is coming your way.

This is sad. I first went to White Pines as a scout on the train in 1959. I have taken many day trips there since and have stayed a night or two in the cabins with my family as a kid. My late wife and I spent time there, I took my daughter there and my grandkids as well. It's a state forest so the park should be OK but the cabins will be missed

Very well written, Madigan is a master at the game the fat ass trust fund baby has no clue how the game is played but he is being played mad again is the game and he sure can’t play him! Was just in Springfield recently visiting family the downtown area had many nice small restaurants naturally many of them will never open again either just like many throughout the state don’t worry though fat ass is going to get the beef and whatever he wants sickening example Abi Governor Illinois is failure all the way through! Remember how jovial him and the mayor of the city of Chicago were when they were Pushing recreational weed laughing all the way? They’re probably using some of their own stash to keep this stupidity afloat.

I post this in a previous post: This is what we get for electing a multi billionaire who was born with 3 golden spoons up his fat ass. His policies are hurting the people who the far left socialist democratic party says they care the most about, the lower and middle class people. Fat ass HAS NO CLUE on what the hard working lower and middle class working people have to go through to make it. Where is the Republican Party? Can't they find someone who is not a Rino? My deepest sympathies go out to this family.

Small businesses such as White Pines Resort closing down is a side benefit of Pritzker's lockdown. Once these businesses are forced into bankruptcy, rich/connected Pritzker cronies can buy the formerly successful ones for pennies on the dollar, then reopen them.

This sure is the time when the years of bold face lying by the Democrats and media (Russia, Impeachment, and on and on) becomes deadly - no one believes them. I just pray that the courageous people stay safe from harm.

I heard a comment on the news the other day that the Hyatt chain is expected to loose approximately 165 Million in the first quarter of 2020. Let’s see how this will affect Lardass and the other Pritzgers. I want everyone to take a quarter out of their pocket and throw it in the garbage. Congratulations you have just experienced a similar affect. How does one as shameless as him sleep at night? Most likely quite well with a box of Twinkies to cuddle up with. Fabulously wealthy folks like Pelosi and Lardass have 0 moral fabric and the compassion of ravenous lion. May every Demorat who sides with them go F themselves.

“ it can’t survive Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s five-phase road map for reopening the state.“

JB SlimSloe, a resort of sorts hotelier himself has road map for eager buyers interested in vacant commercial properties looking to flip into residential villa, mansion, a sting of poloponies...for pennies on the dollar. He’s a scheming, conniving 1 term mutha.

Honestly. could you blame them for Greek Fire? This Communistic Plutocrat running Illinois into the ground isn't leaving them much of a choice. Ive said this before, but do yourself a favor and look up "The Iron Heel" by Jack London. It was written in 1912 by London, a Socialist himself. It mirrors whats happening today albeit it is a piece of fiction. It was prophetic. I mourn for this world if Patriots don't step up soon. If they don't, we may as well have learned German, Russian, or Japanese way back in the 1940's.

Went to White Pines several years ago with my scout troop a few times, great time and actually learned alot about ecology and campfire cooking. Makes me literally ill to see this!!! Furthermore, I personally know of 3 small businesses that are gonna lose it as they just opened/started just b4 fatass shut everything down. A little Mexican restaraunt, and it was working out well and a group, which I won't name but when you lose the bar and hall rental as a new business, you are done with no income, and new business owner that happened to buy a thriving business, but with no income from parties and the gambling machines, the carry out is not cutting it. Fuck this fat ass and the goof of chitown. 3 places that were well on the way to working out, but they can't make it now. It sickens me that they do not even give a shit about the "taxes" they and us will lose.
