„As I was wolfing some down like candy last night, I wondered about these questions and, using Google, found the story behind them, a long feature by Carole Sugarman of the WaPost. I suspect no one read it at the time (check the date) but it's well worth a read now. The story has all the elements of a contemporary business yarn--globalization, intellectual property disputes, secretive business deals--but no new-fangled biotech.“http://www.j-bradford-delong.net/movable_type/2004_archives/ 000611.html - Cached - Similar Pages

„The IC tracks that make up the north wall sit on a squat bed that looks like it could have been built sometime around the Civil War: huge granite blocks, cut roughly into squares, piled one on top of another for half a story, interrupted just enough to let the alley run through, and spanned by rusted iron that once held tracks of their own that ferried the commerce of a city on its way somewhere else. Back then, whenever it was that the IC tracks first pushed westward away from the lake, 15th Street was a lot closer to the edge of Chicago, both metaphorically and literally, than it is today. The whole near South Side was little more than a staging area for refrigerated cars carrying butter or beef carcasses, in fact, waiting to be shipped to those who saw Chicago not just as the closest big city but as the only metropolis between them and the Atlantic Ocean.“http://WWW.thesentimentalist.com/archives/ 2003_11.html#000133 - Cached - Similar Pages
