BATTLE LINES ARE BEING intensified between some residents of Arlington Heights and elected village officials over the specter of the Chicago Bears building a new stadium at Arlington Park.
THE OBSCENE UNDERPINNING of it all was drawn further on to the village center spit Wednesday when Churchill Downs Inc. announced that it was"donating" the iconic"Against All Odds" statue from the doomed track's paddock balcony to The National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in Saratoga Springs, New York.
It's also an unfortunate residual from the Bears' increasingly clumsy attempt to leverage their ownership of the 326 acres that once housed Arlington into the best financial deal for their new play palace somewhere in the Chicago region. LIKE HAYES AND BERTUCCI, Svoboda has clear standing as a vital and informed individual with a textured overview of the village's culture and history.
"I strongly feel that the Bears and the city of Chicago will end up making a deal for a new stadium. The new mayor is going to one day make a triumphant announcement about that.
