Taxpayers
what taxpayers?
Arlington's entire 2020 budget was only $177 million
seems like you think taxes are magic
Taxpayers
destroying the historic field museum has to be the dumbest fucking thing I have heard yet.. Up until the point I read the rest of your post where your replying to the fucking Bears message board while driving..Lightfoot and the city officials are stupid if they let the Bears leave the downtown area. A smart business minded Mayor would give up the entire f'ing museum campus area over there to accomadate a state-of-the-art facility and all its glory. Who the hell goes to the museum these days anyway. How much revenue does that bring in? Move that shit to the west loop or something. City could capitalize on Super Bowls, Final Fours, hotels. But the city is still living in the past. The future of tourism is accesibilty to millenials. Video boards, displays, events, etc. Times Square type look. Not old architecutre and museum sightseeing. These kids dont care about that stuff anymore.
Excuse the typos, driving...
You should go help the Field Museum haul in another dinosaur exhibit, while the multi-billion dollar sports franchise leaves the city. I'll continue using talk-to-text while driving to Arlington Heights.destroying the historic field museum has to be the dumbest fucking thing I have heard yet..

Wow. Incredibly wrong think.Lightfoot and the city officials are stupid if they let the Bears leave the downtown area.

Maybe you should asking to excuse the dumb fucking idea. The Museum campus had over 4 million in attendance at the last survey in 2016. Because you are an uneducated uncultured idoit doesn't mean the entirety of your generation is as well.Lightfoot and the city officials are stupid if they let the Bears leave the downtown area.

How about tear down the Wrigley building, I mean whost chews gum anymore, or maybe Water Tower place it's not like people go out and shop, amiright? Wait, duh, it's so obvious Grant Park is huge, who the hell walks and looks at fountains these days, nothing to tear down, just pave over those non revenue softball fields, throw up some huge video boards so Millennials can watch other people play video games in the Professional Gamers League. Problem solved.destroying the historic field museum has to be the dumbest fucking thing I have heard yet..

Let's turn one of the most beautiful downtown areas in the country into a gaudy tourist trap, because Arlington Heights is too far away.

They could use some of the reclaimed limestone from the museums in a row of craft breweries. Limestone contrasted by some exposed duct work, throw in a brick wall or two, and a few shiny copper beer vats. You probably haven't seen anything like that before, but you should be able to envision it.He's probably more concerned with the smelt runs.

What says Millennial more than tearing down old stuff to build new old looking stuff.

You dont grow a city on feelings & nostalgia. The facts are the facts. The Field Museum tax filings are public record. In 2019 they reported $90M gross revenue and $80M in expenses. Thats a $10M net.Looks like the Field Museum generates a revenue of over 123 million a year
No problem man, somebody's gotta do it!Thanks for bringing this board together, YoungPA.
Huh, only $90 in revenues, wow!You dont grow a city on feelings & nostalgia. The facts are the facts. The Field Museum tax filings are public record. In 2019 they reported $90M gross revenue and $80M in expenses. Thats a $10M net.
