Christmas Tax Money Returns
Someone must have gotten hold of Conehead during his latest stay at the sanitarium and mentioned he was missing out on hundreds of thousands of dollars in tax revenue:
City officials raised the capacity limit at Daley Plaza’s Christkindlmarket by 1,000 people after organizers, vendors and patrons complained about a last-minute crowd restriction on the beloved holiday market.
The new capacity limit of 2,553 at the market, which opened Nov. 21, is still less than the 3,494 people allowed under the COVID-19 capacity rules set in 2021, when social distancing was in effect.
Mark Tomkins, president and chief executive of the German American Chamber of Commerce of the Midwest, said the city informed his organization, which runs Christkindlmarket, of the decision Monday morning.
“It’s progress. It will help, but it’s still rough for our vendors,” Tomkins said Monday, adding that the change “doesn’t move the needle a lot.”
This after the Civic Federation pointed out the TIF "surplus" was about to be drained to the benefit of the CTU and pretty much no one else (see post below this one).

The reasoning, if it can be called that, on this eludes.
Reasons for more patronizing this event:
Fuck, they are obvious, and plentiful. Even for the yutes most inclined to idiocies.
So, why this limitationing?
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
It's for the kids dontchaknow....
Probably to replace it with some bullshit like Kwanza world that nobody will attend
Hopefully the ones in charge of the Kindlemarket will leave the City and go elsewhere...the word is they are looking for alternative locations...I bet the suburbs are salivating. Just another tradition that Conehead will force out of the City like the other merchants he's chased out!
This is a slow drip of demonic activity. Brandon will eventually cancel the event because Christmas and Christ are against his values and must be destroyed. Fight back people
Passed by the market on my way to my train home after a 10 hour work day. The usual oblivious suburban idiots!
I always liked the mulled wine.
Things that are now history:
1) Chicagofest at Navy Pier
2) Taste of Chicago ( almost gone, pretty much DEAD)
3) Firework Show Third of July
4) Christkindlmart ( dying a slow death, soon to be dead)
All gone...because of one thing...
Boo is allowed free access to rampage shoot and loot in downtown but it's these people ya gotta watch..
What a waste nobody goes downtown anymore.
“Teen gatherings” ruined it.
Nobody goes to Kindlemarket nobody bothers. It’s a joke. They can open it up to a million people it won’t matter that thing will be closed down never to come back within 3yrs. It’s a ghost town 99% of the day. This is just marketing strategy. Make it seem like it’s more important than it really is using the scarcity effect to hopefully entice shoppers and past customers.
Wait a minute here you go another tax. The state is so full of corruption they favor criminals they favor taxing their few remaining people that will pay so many people are leaving. Cannot blame anybody he’s Democrats have destroyed this state.

The venue is too small. Needs a better location. But that is asking the Mensa geniuses who run the city too much.
ghetto does ghetto stupid
It’s a shakedown ,it’s to keep the black youths from terrorizing the shoppers. We all know this. Racist shotspotter is protecting gangbangers but not innocent victims.
They will leave , many now visit Kindlemarkets in Naperville,Aurora and other safe locations. CPS honor roll students ,dropouts and others that punch people,shoot each other and adults on electronic monitoring that rob,light people on fire 🔥 is also a reason why Kris Kindlemart , like NASCAR will pull out of Chicago. Chicago needs new leadership.
For some reason mayors have hated Christkindlmart.
Rahm almost put it out of business.
It took a former alderman and critic to raise the issue and it was saved.
Maybe it I good for the city and not their idea.
In Germany, the Christmas Market is absolutely amazing. Germans are much more into Christmas than we will ever be. You can walk around for hours sipping hot, spiced wine and shopping.
But, this year, a pack of pro Palestinian Arabs, Turks, and other assorted goat third world sheisse kopfs disrupted the whole thing.
The reverse crusades will happen in Europe soon enough.
Look who else is returning I bet you could sue and have all the cases thrown out

And nothing will change until there is a new regime running crook county !
I volunteered for a charity with many wealthy suburban donors…the same people who vote for all the leftist bullshit. One day, this woman walks in (Winnetka-ite) and proudly declares how places like her town and Wilmette, Lake Forest etc have everything they need in their downtown. She was so proud that she never had to venture into crime ridden downtown Chicago any longer. How ironic, she doesn’t have to deal with the shit she voted for- like the SafeT Act or more taxes for us working assholes bc let’s face it the very wealthy always have. “Loopholes” no matter how you tax them, there’s always a loophole to correct it. Would I do the same thing if I was rich, sure. It’s just the hypocrisy of liberal politics I can’t stomach.
They should move to the Lincolnwood Town Mall or Golf Mill. More Germans in the suburbs, less ghetto youths. Charge a $10 Admission fee, refundable on any gifts bought.
Take the overrated market to Rosemont.

Kind of like how all the millionaire Advertising executives who take the Metra from their Loop offices straight to Winnetka banned the ugly visual pollution of billboards in their own hometown, but were quite happy to put them up every else across the nation
[with the notable exception of... Virginia?!]
You been to Lincolnwood Mall anytime in the last 5 years? It’s like every third world country dumped their problems up that way. More than half easily Islamic.
