Oooh, and it’s going to be seven stories tall! Wow! A skyscraper, in Chicago of all places!
Infuriated that Wolf “. . . may sit on it, holding it boarded and vacant, until a buyer comes along with the right price.” That sounds like something Ben Joravsky might do with his writing, if the Reader didn’t pay him.
The beefs continue as local activists face the developers, although there is not one single evidence of any wrongdoing on their part. One complains that there will be “a continuous flow of traffic” to the movies. Is she talking about Clark and Diversey for Christ’s sake?
