Michael Reese Site Developers Make $10 Billion Pitch For Bears Stadium

The Sun-Times reports that developers have made a $10 billion (with a B!) pitch with a plan to make the former Michael Reese Hospital site the next home of the Bears. This isn’t the first time we’ve heard the former Michael Reese Hospital site floated as an option. Back in 2024, it joined a long list of options that have been presented to the team in its search for a future home. The Bears have since dismissed it as an option, citing safety concerns about it being built over an active rail line and the lot size being too small for what the team was hoping to build. Still, there are folks who want to take one last stab at it. And frankly, I admire their gumption. More from the Sun-Times story , which includes an anecdote about a sweetener that Capri Investment Group could toss in that certainly grabbed my attention: To further lure the Bears, Capri and its investment partners said they were willing to purchase the team’s Arlington Heights property it’s “the key impediment to the team staying Downtown and fairly considering Bronzeville,” Primo said. “There should be absolutely no reasons why the Bears and the NFL

Palatine Retires Rand Road TIF, Freeing Up $5 Million for Schools, Village

Arlington Toyota — Reported Business Tied To Corridor Redevelopment. Palatine council members voted to dissolve the Rand Road Corridor Tax Increment Financing District, a move that will redirect more than $5 million in property taxes to the levies of local taxing bodies once the district winds down at the end of 2026. The district helped reshape a stretch of Rand Road into a retail corridor anchored by Walmart, Target and Arlington Toyota, and its retirement closes out more than two decades of village-led redevelopment along that strip.

Letter: Perhaps it’s time to disband New Trier student section

I attended the Evanston Township High School meeting on Nov. 9 to stand in solidarity with our school leadership, school board and students. It was illuminating. ETHS school board members and New Trier staff members discussed reports of students in the New Trier section yelling racist and homophobic comments at members of the ETHS band during an Oct. 16 football game at Ryan Field. Some on the ETHS board have deep knowledge of New Trier from prior work experience there.

Golf teams ‘stay the course’

The ball was going everywhere that senior Peyton Camardella didn’t want it to go. Between hitting the ball just short of the green or straight into the water, Camardella was having a very out-of-character match for her first nine holes of the girls’ golf sectional on Monday, Sept. 5. That was until she looked at the little number 19 written on her ball, her boyfriend’s jersey number, and was reminded that no matter what, it will be OK .
