Default News Flash: Jobs Moving to Chicago
Just saw on the local new (ABC7)... Hyatt is moving 60 IT jobs to their downtown 200 W Monroe facility.

I already know this... we moved downtown on the 17th.

I did a similar commute in the early 90s. Didn't like it too much then either.

Odd that they're moving into the city and the high taxes, when I lived there everyone was moving out of Cook County.
