I don’t know who runs the Chicago Park District but its extremely well kept. Millenium Park is gorgeous. It must be from the exorbitant parking fees they charge.

Even Washington Park and any of the old Westside Parks are immaculately kept, even though the surrounding neighborhoods resemble Dresden after WWII.

We pay for it with our taxes that have increased 300% in 6 years. M-Park went 1/4 billion over budget. The Cloudgate, aka the “bean”, alone was a 25 million dollar boondoggle originally budgeted @ 9 million. Wait until they go for the Olympics here. Who do you think will be paying for that? I’m moving before it happens.
