One more time: Why did the Mayor of that city closed that wonderful airport down? Was it for money or was it so that he can have a new golf course to play in? Undecided

Because he could. There's not really any other reason...

The place is a park now in real life. I doubt there's still a runway over there.

I wonder if Midway and/or O'Hare are on Daly's hit list?

If you look at Meigs with Google Maps or Google Earth, in map view it shows everything as a big park. However, when you switch to satellite view, presto!! Things are as we remember them. Obviously the satellite photo is quite old.
