One of my most fondest memories of Meigs field was not actually flying in and out of there , but rather watching a retired UAL 727 landing there back in October of '92. UAL donated a 727 to the Museum Of Science and Industry, and UAL flew it into Meigs where it was disassembled and trucked over to the museum.
Airports come and go over time. I am dissapointed how Daley handled the closure; however I am not surprised the airport was closed.
Some of you folks who have never lived in Chicago see Daley for one thing, the "scum" that he is for closing Meigs, and the way he went about it. Do any of you know what daley did to improve Chicago? I voted for Daley in '95,'99,'03, '07, and will vote for him again in '11. There is a reason why Daley will be the longest serving mayor of the city on Dec 25, 2010, he has done a lot of good for Chicago.
trafficinsight- You think Chicago politics are corrupt? What you view as corrupt, chicagoians view as a way of life. You want to boycott chicago because of our mayor that's cool to, no skin off of our backs we don't want you here anyway.
I was born a southsider and I will die a southsider. trafficinsight, it's a chicago thing you will never understand.

I don't?
Boycotting Chicago wont bring back Meigs, I know that. But if people stop coming to your city because of corrupt politics, people will either vote the scum out of office, or the city will die... and if that's the case.. well... no big loss I guess.
but please, if you see it differently, enlighten me.
