Plan to put horror venue near casino casts new doubt on stalled megaproject – Crain’s

Universal Horror Unleashed renderingCity officials didn’t address the future of the apartment proposal when announcing Universal’s plans for the venue at a news conference. But Universal is receiving incentives for the project through Illinois’ Economic Development for a Growing Economy tax credit program, and according to the agreement, the venue must maintain operations for at least 10 years. That suggests Onni is moving on from its plans, or at least tabling them for a long time.

Disney failed, Universal’s turn.

If you want a real horror show that will scare you right down to your socks, go through Englewood, Austin, pretty much anywhere in CHI/ Cook County on a weekend night until the weather goes south in a few months. You’ll have stories to tell if you survive.

Darn it, you beat me to the punch. Anyway, here’s my similar comment. You can experience computerized/virtual horror in this new venue; then, exit the building for the real thing – courtesy of the thugs.
