Another boost for the South Side!

 According to the newstoday, Daley wants to see growth south of McCormick Place whether we win the Olympic bid or not.  The proposed development  will be built -- on air rights over a truck staging area for McCormick Place.  You know,  the vacant ugly expanse just south of the Stevenson as you head south on Lake Shore Drive.

The talks include development of 37 acres to include 5,000 new homes, market rate and affordable housing, and up to 1,000 new hotel rooms.  A pair of pedestrian bridges over Lake Shore Drive.  We have been waiting for this!

As you can kind of see in the bottom left corner of this photo, there are plans for a new harbor too.
