>>Dont they have a nice sewage treatment plant they could name after our president?
I work for a wastewater utility. Sewage treatment is essential for healthy civilization. Someone should name an empty field after Obama and then put a fence around it so it can turn into a place where cheap hookers and drug addicts can do their thing out of the public eye.
That is the Obama legacy.

There’s a water treatment facility right across 130th Steet from Altgeld Gardens, a housing project where young Obama used to organize.

Another piece of trivia: The ICAO identifier for O’Hare is ORD. What’s the origin of that name?

Midway is what they used to call the knock-out game. I think.
Isn’t this putz in trouble with his own primary? Or has he won the do-over? Can’t keep track of Chicago politics.

Another piece of trivia: The ICAO identifier for OHare is ORD. Whats the origin of that name? The airport was originally known as Orchard Field back in the early 1940s.

He probably Midway is something to walk on at the State Fair.
That got started at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair.
Since then, "Midway" has been associated both with fairs and amusement parks and with the University of Chicago which was located next to the fair site.
So "Midway" has Chicago associations that could well confuse somebody. Thinking "Midway" was a person, though, is dumb.

I always thought it was named for the same Midway as “The Monsters of the Midway,” the 1940-41 Chicago Bears. They got their name from a park in a nearby part of town. (Actually, the story is more complicated, involving the University of Chicago football team and the 1892 Columbia Exposition, but that’s a digression.)

Name a gay bath house after Obama.Naming one after Rahm would seem to be appropriate too.
