arfmelI sure thought there would be at least one pyramid, and a miniature golf course. Maybe a big hole in the ground would be more appropriate, though.

Makes sense in that you can't go there yourself.
Does it acknowledge the Chicago Stockyards and how the tradition of that killing field continues?

I'm thinking a drive-by-shooting simulation would give visitors a real sense of what the area has to offer.

Is that money into the community or government subsidies laundered to Braack and pals?
Fancy observation decks to watch the car-jackings and drive-bys? Will Braack have his boys listening to the ladies rooms and such? And steam baths in there when Braack wants to unwind with "friends"?
