#1 ...My understanding is that the OPC has the same rep in Chicago that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame had in Cleveland - the local elites want it, but it's more trouble than it's worth and will never return enough of its investment to be worth the cost.

I just don't know that many people who will be going to freaking Chicago, for God's sake, just to make a pilgrimage to the Lightbringer. Myself, though, I'd like to think that Madam Justice Comey just gave the city of Chicago what it wanted.

Good and hard.

#3 For the wasteland that is CHicago it is fitting that Ozymandius

By Percy Bysshe Shelley
I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
