If Adam Clayman reads this I think he may have apoplexy.

No visceral reaction from me Bob.

Actually, I don't see a problem. The peninsula is one nightclub after another. Why shouldn't the city benefit from the changed nature of the entire peninsula? At least at night, one can't see the stained furniture. :)

A few comments about the ridiculous error made in the article.

The 4 million dollar clubhouse

Was actually 10 million

It is the reason the course has had to raise rates and, imo, was poorly designed.

The petition mentioned, that was ignored, was signed by nearly every member of the three golf clubs that use the course.

It's my opinion that the former manager/superintendent Mike Leach, used unscrupulous measures to make this clubhouse happen. He no longer works there and I'm sure every golfer who knows this course, intimately, wishes he had never been hired. FWIW, his application hit the circular file, when the five man committee was reviewing applicants. Yet, somehow this BOZO got the job. From day one it was his goal to build a new clubhouse. The enterprise fund saved $4 million for environmental cleanup that they didn't need. So, the clubhouse was rammed through.

I'll never forget speaking to one of the city council women who thought it would be nice to have a nice place for her and her husband to go have Sunday brunch.

America's last home town is well versed in Chicago type politics, that now pervade our entire country.
