Glennon raised the stakes of the moment in broader civilizational terms: “This election in Illinois is not about the usual pedestrian issues… it’s about nothing less than whether Western civilization survives in our democratic republic of America because [the left], just on the open border alone, will destroy the country, and now they’re bringing in the jihadists, frankly, into the party.” Audio and summary linked here.Audio and summary linked here.
New Trier High School made national headlines nine years ago as a “canary in a coal mine” for political indoctrination in public schools. The canaries lived.
Among the consequences of economic growth that badly lags national averages are billions of lost revenue every year. Yet denial reigns in Illinois, fueling the vicious cycle of demand for higher taxes.

216 W. Jackson is a tough sell. Not historically significant, in a corner of the Loop that has lost its vibrancy because of the exit of trading firms, and its location is really dark and gloomy on Jackson next to the elevated train. I have no idea what could be done to save it.
Walking distance to Giordano stuffed pie, Lukes Ibeef and a Jimmy Johns.
I bid $100!!
Hah! I worked in that area for decades, so know those spots well. The remodeled buildings over there like 175 W. Jackson, the old Insurance Exchange, can’t draw tenants, so I don’t know who would move into the Luke’s building.
