great update once again Harry! The site is not quiet at all.

PS: Was looking though the things to do in Chicago. Would you guys recommend a cruise on the Spirit of Chicago with lunch or dinner?

I really cant wait to see how the construction on this tower will rise. I Imagine it looking like the birds nest in Beijing except vertical while rising for some reason. It will be an amazing sight watching this thing take shape.

Great, you blew JJK's secret source. At this point, anything coming from the Sun Times could be construed as "non-public" knowledge.

I think it was stated that he had bought a home, but I didn't understand / don't remember that he was going to move here as his primary residence.... so that would be news.

I can't disclose my exact source for where I heard this, ........but Wendy's now offers the Crispy Chicken Sandwich (and other delicious sandwiches) for about a dollar....
