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

Born 118 Years Ago Today in Chicago, the Music Visionary Who Signed Kitty Wells and Patsy Cline and Helped Make Nashville the Country Music Capital

On this day (November 10) in 1908, powerhouse country music executive Paul Cohen was born in Chicago, Illinois. Getting his start in the industry with Columbia Records, he joined Decca’s nascent American operation in the 1930s. Cohen’s energetic production style and keen business acumen helped shift the epicenter of country music operations from the Northwest to Nashville, transforming what was then dubbed “hillbilly music” into the booming multi-billion dollar industry it is today. He also guided the careers of many high-profile hitmakers, signing Kitty Wells, Patsy Cline, Ernest Tubb, Webb Pierce, and Red Foley — just to name a few.
