You've Got to Be Kidding Me

I'm starting a new rant with the above title. Look for it to see the latest stupid shit that necessitates a god damn bitch slap to some stupid bastard.

Here's the first one.

I'm a big fan of his honor, but let's all call Da' Mayer and tell him CITY ain't for sale! Who the hell wants to walk down Loew's Magnificent Mile or go to Old Navy Pier (not that anyone without kids wants to go there anyway)? Not me. I've worked on the Mag Mile in a big ass corporate store and I love the street for what it is, a vibrant commercial street - but that doesn't mean we have to sell our infrastructure to some corporate pr ass who graduated with a degree in "let's make ourselves look good". And I sure as hell don't want to ride the Orbitz El.

If you want to sell naming rights for park pavilions and playgrounds, that's fine, but make sure that most of that naming rights $$$$$$ gets put back into a fund that benefits ALL parks across the city, so that the naming rights and their dollar benefits are spread out into all neighborhoods -not just Lincoln Park, Lakeview and other expensive zip codes. And keep your name off of our streets, transportation and infrastructure.

Unless of course, we can sell North Halsted Street, my street, to Gay.com. Then I could list my address as ##### N. Gay.com Street.
