Thus read the headline in today's Chicago Tribune. Looks like they finally figured out something I've known for a long time. And, that is that Chicago is a MIGHTY GOUGING CITY.
This comes to light after two major trade shows have recently pulled out of Chicago's McCormick Place. And the reason? Chicago has just become way too expensive.
We were told of the $345.39 charge for four cases of Pepsi.
And, then there is the ripoff parking charges and the new astronomical charges for street parking. This is the big reason I rarely ever go to the city any more.
Then, there are the red light cameras, parking sticker only street parking, and, oh yes, the 10%+ sales tax.
And, I used to visit and spend lots of money in Chicago, but no more.
