Wow. Just wow.

[Tommy Williamsen]

Wow, dreams still exist and sometimes dreams come true, after a lot of work. Good on you guys.

Great history lesson.  Too bad Chicago couldn't get the Jackson Park project going.  Would be hard to imagine this project getting any bigger than what is planned.  Kudos.

I’m glad they went back to the beginning and the dedicated work you and Mike did. While it has ballooned it started humbly.

I’ve not given up on the Chicago dream. I sure hope others feel the same.

Congrats to you and Mike.


You pushed what was a little snowball down a big hill and it's grown.

   I think they pushed the snowball up a big hill.

You're right.  That's much more accurate.

And pushed it during the hottest summer imaginable. What a moving article.

Joe/Mike,


You probably have told this story elsewhere, but how did you two come to the joint realization that you wanted take this epic project on?


Thanks.

Joe/Mike,

Thanks.

Mike and I catalyzed this project, with the help of many others, including this discussion group! As we dug deeper and deeper, the more fascinating the story became. We were incredibly naive, which was probably good thing.
