    1) see previous point

    2) well, a strip mall is going to make MORE jobs and bring in MORE money

    am I the only one who has never been there?

    You know what people want? They want food on their table, fuel for their car, clothes on their body and crap to consume. Who brings all of that. Trucks do. So people do in fact want trucks they just don't know it.

    Who's gonna deliver to those strip malls, the trucks that they don't want?

    3 years after the last post and they haven't done a thing with the place. It's still a giant eye soar, but now with piles of construction debris. I live about a mile from there and pass it every day.

    The problem is, it lies between both Plainfield & Joliet. It was suppose to be developed into a mixed use property, but the developer went bust.
