Wentworth Ave.).FacebookThe meeting, organized to address intense neighborhood pushback, will include Ishbia, officials from Amtrak, and members of his development firm, Canal Edge LLC. Local residents and elected officials, led by 11th Ward Alderwoman Nicole Lee, are fiercely opposing a plan that involves moving Amtrak's 24/7 maintenance yard into Bridgeport to make room for Ishbia’s massive new South Loop riverfront megadevelopment, "The Railyards"—which could eventually house a new White Sox stadium.Facebook +2

8 hours ago8 hr I think Ishbia will present more of an open for discussion instead of a take it or leave it proposal. He has the ability to write a huge check directly to the ward which goes a long way.

Someone asked, what are the people of Bridgeport really losing if the Sox move? I jokingly responded "free fireworks". I guess if I have to explain it it's a pretty lame post.
