In Chicago, there was this little bar called McCuddy's, across the street from old Comiskey Park. Babe Ruth used to go there for a beer between innings. It was a celebrated institution. When they wanted to build the new White Sox park (whatever corporate name it has these days), they promised to preserve the bar, to incorporate it into the new park or to rebuild it on the other side of the street, in the parking lot that was the site of the old park. It never happened. The bar was torn down, just like Comiskey Park, neither ever to be seen again. Never believe a developer's promises when he wants something.

That is why you require a developer to put up a bond. If the bond company will get it straight.
