In Chicago the boat people are abandoning ship. Meanwhile Conehead the Mayor and the democrats are arranging the deck chairs.

The only thing McCormick Place would be good for is housing illegals or free gang warfare.

I would imagine that live Gladiator games would attract quite a crowd.

This makes sense. Many are avoiding the McCormick Place neighborhood, since it began feeling like part of “the hood.” Also, driving there has been frustrating with the rebuild of the Jane Byrne interchange, which dragged on way too long with union strikes and all, and now the Kennedy project. Parking is too expensive, the facility staff act entitled, and if you get mugged or jacked in the area, you had no confidence that the state’s attorney would ever prosecute the offenders. Rosemont will likely offer a better overall experience in all aspects, if they keep parking costs reasonable.

Rosemont PD don’t take kindly to troublemakers the DNC should have planned for their communist August meeting to be held there.

McCormick place is way past its prime, the surrounding area is a dump. The boat show
Was turning into the “sh.. show”. Good move on the boat shows part.
Watch other shows like the RSNA move also.
Another one bits the dust indeed as the
“ usual gang of idiots “ continues to destroy
The city.

The problem with McCormick Place is the hood is in and out, gangs outside and the unions inside! Plug in a lamp and they will break your arm.
