It was deleted awhile back for some reason.

The only reason Miegs was closed . Was because the Mayors wife wanted a place to have her park at. And he found a way to weasel it into this spot. Love how the pilots were FORCED OUT of their favorite airport. The runways were even being torn up while the small planes were still there ! They were made so no more incoming flights could be made...

The Mayor is a ........................


The reason it was closed was that Dick Daley was using the airport for years as a bargaining tool with the Illinois state government.  As long as he got his way, the governor and such got to keep their easy access to downtown.  Dick actually made a deal that for support of his O'hare expansion project, Meigs would stay open for another 25 years, but as soon as he found out he didn't need that support, he decided to pull his midnight hat trick.

I used to love to go down there and sit and watch the planes take off or land from the steps by the Adler.  Now I don't even want to go down there because of the bad reminder of what was.   :-/
