I thought bleachers seats only went on sale the day of the game.
Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

No more Chicago stockyards!Originally posted by chegitz guevara
A little late for that, really.
Alas. I blame Nixon.
The prosperity of the stockyards was due to both the concentration of railroads and the evolution of refrigerated railroad cars.[17] Its decline was due to further advances in post-World War II transportation and distribution. Direct sales of livestock from breeders to packers, facilitated by advancement in interstate trucking, made it cheaper to slaughter animals where they were raised and excluded the intermediary stockyards.[1][11] At first, the major meatpacking companies resisted change, but Swift and Armour both surrendered and vacated their plants in the Yards in the 1950s.[11]
In 1971, the area bounded by Pershing Road, Ashland, Halsted, and 47th Street became The Stockyards Industrial Park. The neighborhood to the west and south of the industrial park is still known as Back of the Yards, and is still home to a thriving immigrant population.Comment

He moved all the old scary and smelly people to Gary, Indiana. But that's not part of Chicago, of course.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

The best thing you could do is check for a connecting flight to Dallas.

I won't be staying at this hotel again. 185/night at conference rate for a room smaller than my college dorm rooms, no wireless internet, ethernet cable has only a foot or two of length, so I'm tethered to a desk, and the lcd tv (which is stretched out, guess they didn't bother setting it up properly) is above my head, meaning its fricking loud if my wife wants to watch tv while I'm surfing.
I stayed at this hotel 3 years ago or so and had a much larger room, I guess they renovated into smaller rooms. ughComment
