| A Dinosaur in Chicago’s O’Hare Airport | | 2008-07-11 05:30:25 | | Curious grand gestures in public space:
Chicago’s O’Hare Airport has this huge replica of a Brachiosaurus skeleton, a plant-eating dinosaur that apparently lived 150 million years ago. I’d love to meet the airport officials who approved this. Fascinating for its extreme absurdity — and its innovative use of the atrium’s verticality.

Hoy, quizás porque es “Sábado” y me paseé por el parque, se me abrieron las “entendederas” y recordé que el grupo norteamericano “Chicago” (tanto como Boston, Supertramp, Scorpions, …), hizo, hicieron y hacen mucha mella en mi personalidad, puesto que ésta es tan variopinta como esta Memoria, y como “ellos” no me habían visitado, hoy lo hacen por primera vez, de la mano de “Saturday In The Park“, o traduciendo que es gerundio, “Sábado En El Parque“.

| Congrats to Chicago | | 2008-07-01 23:00:00 | | Residents of Chicago are likely to notice that goods and services cost a bit more starting yesterday. On that day, Chicago assumed the highest metropolitan sales tax rate in the nation. The new 10.25 percent rate in Cook County, approved earlier this year, was accelerated to close a budget deficit. Additionally, dining within a special business taxing district in the heart of the city will include a sales tax bill of 11.25 percent. So, if a couple spends $100 on a romantic meal, taxes alone will be $11.25. Imagine what it would be on a big ticket item like a television or a car. Speculation that consumers will instead shop in surrounding suburbs where tax rates are much lower has already begun (see our take on it earlier this year). Congrats go out to Chicago; they are no longer the second city when it comes to municipal tax rates.Earlier posts on the steadily increasing Chicago sales tax rate here, here, and here. | | By: Tax Policy Blog | | |

I am a pro-growth, free-market guy. I love themarket."Demonstrating that this is no mere spring fling, he has appointed 37-year-old Jason Furman to head his economic policy team. Furman is one of Wal-Mart's most prominent defenders, anointing the company a "progressive success story." On the campaign trail, Obama blasted Clinton for sitting on the Wal-Mart board and pledged, "I won't shop there." For Furman, however, it's Wal-Mart's critics who are the real threat: the "efforts to get Wal-Mart to raise its wages and benefits" are creating "collateral damage" that is "way too enormous and damaging to working people and the economy more broadly for me to sit by i | | By: The Peace Tree | | |

| Padres should trade Maddux to Chicago Cubs | | 2008-06-25 11:37:00 | | The Padres should do Greg Maddux a favor and trade him to a contending team – the Chicago Cubs.The last-place Padres aren’t doing Maddux any good, but vice versa isn’t necessarily true.Maddux is winless in eight starts since career victory No. 350 on May 10, yet it isn’t his fault at all.Since then, Maddux is 0-2 with a 2.70 ERA and has watched the beleaguered Padres’ bullpen blow the lead four times after he left a game while in line for win No. 351.This has to stop!The Padres have long coveted Cubs outfielder Matt Murton, so a Maddux-for-Murton trade could certainly be in line at this point since Murton does little more than warm Chicago’s bench.Plus, sending Maddux to the Cubs could turn out to be one of those Cinderella stories that are few and far between in Major League Baseball.Maddux pitched his first career game in relief for the Cubs on Sept. 10, 1986; remaining with Chicago until playing for Atlanta (1993-2003) and returning to the Cubs (2004-July 2006).As the Cu | | By: San Diego Sporting | | |

| Chicago Sues eBay, Seeks Amusement Tax Revenue | | 2008-06-16 23:00:00 | | On May 19, Chicago filed suit in Cook County Circuit Court against eBay, seeking to force the Internet auction website to collect the city's amusement tax on tickets resold using the site. City of Chicago v. eBay, Inc., 2008L050524. Normally, the city only has the power to require companies physically present in Chicago to collect taxes (companies with property or employees in the city). To get around this obstacle, the City came up with a list of reasons why eBay has "sufficient nexus" with Chicago to make them a tax collector: eBay offers a training session ("eBay University"), taught by certified instructors at no single location. There are 30 such instructors in Illinois, but they are not eBay employees. So if a "certified instructor" moves to Tanzania without eBay's knowledge and trains people how to use eBay, does eBay then have to collect taxes for the Tanzanian government?eBay "is able to facilitate the sale of tickets" to events h | | By: Tax Policy Blog | | |

| Chicago Cubs just keep on pounding | | 2008-06-04 12:10:00 | | How about those Chicago Cubs?After watching the Cubs pound the Padres the last two nights, it’s obvious this is a team with legitimate high hopes in 2008.The Cubs are flat-out beating the Padres; rather than having the Padres beat themselves as they do so often.What’s most impressive about the Cubs is how they just seem to hit line drive after line drive after line drive.Padres’ catcher Michael Barrett, who played for the Cubs until last June, is certainly aware of his former team’s offensive prowess.“One thing that’s impressive about them is that they have such a high on base percentage,” Barrett told the Associated Press. “The biggest thing about that lineup is that they really forced us to come to them. You don't see them making too many quick outs.”Speaking of, it’s hard to get quick outs when you don’t throw strikes.Padres starting pitcher Wil Ledezma threw 100 pitches in 4 2/3 innings Tuesday night, including 61 to the last 12 batters he faced (averaging mor | | By: San Diego Sporting | | |

| DRAFT NBA, CHICAGO BULLS SCEGLIERANNO PER PRIMI | | 2008-05-23 02:36:56 | | I Chicago Bulls avranno a disposizione la prima scelta assoluta nel draft NBA in programma il 26 giugno. Chicago, che ha chiuso la regular season 2007-2008 con un record di 33-49, aveva solo l'1,7% di possibilita' di ottenere la prima scelta assoluta. Ai tori erano state assegnate soltanto 17 palline sulle 1000 utilizzate nella lotteria che ha determinato l'ordine con cui le squadre selezioneranno i giocatori. Il draft sara' dominato da due giocatori: Derrick Rose, point guard dell'universita' di Memphis, e Michael Beasley, ala di Kansas State. Entrambi lasceranno il college dopo un solo anno nella NCAA. Dopo i Bulls sceglieranno i Miami Heat, la peggior squadra della stagione con il record di 15-67. La terza scelta e' stata assegnata ai Minnesota Timberwolves. A seguire Seattle Sonics, Memphis Grizzlies, New York Knicks, Los Angeles Clippers, Milwaukee Bucks, Charlotte Bobcats e New Jersey Nets.In questo contesto il network Espn, spinge Danilo Gallinari verso i New York Knicks.''Un'al | | By: Matteo Bollini Head Coach | | |

As if the Chicago sales tax were not high enough already, now online buyers of tickets to city events might face an amusement tax as well. From the Chicago Tribune:Buyers who purchase tickets to Chicago sporting and cultural events online through eBay and StubHub could end up paying an extra 8 percent tax if a lawsuit filed Monday by the city is successful.The city argues in the lawsuit filed in Cook County Circuit Court that the two firms—eBay bought StubHub last year—are "reseller's agents" and are therefore required under Chicago's ordinance to pay an amusement tax. The lawsuit seeks a court order allowing the city to audit the companies and award fines for failing to collect and pay the tax.Both companies say they will fight the lawsuit."We do not believe that the City's Amusement Tax applies to either eBay's or StubHub's business models nor do we believe that the Amusement Tax can properly be assessed | | By: Tax Policy Blog | | |

| Chicago commercial real estate | | 2008-05-09 19:38:00 | | It is no secret that downtown Chicago commercial real estate is weaker today than it was a year or two ago. But the situation in the suburbs is worse, according to recent surveys.MB Real Estate, a diversified real estate firm, said its analysis shows that the overall vacancy rate for downtown increased from about 11.7 percent in the final three months of 2007 to 12.3 percent in the first quarter of 2008. Those numbers, while not exhilarating, are certainly better than Chicago saw in the early 1990s when vacancies soared. But in the suburbs, MB Real Estate found, the vacancy rate rose from 16.1 percent in the last quarter of 2007 to 17.3 percent in the first quarter of this year.
