Today's group ride took me past the #Kinsale 9/11 Garden of Rememberance. Our ride leader thought I'd appreciate it given that I'm an American, and that it's close to 9/11. I was struck at how many markers/trees were there (344).

Near the entrance, there was a fence with patches left by first responders, and I was able to find several from #Illinois, including #Chicago, #ArlingtonHeights and #Rockford. It felt good knowing that others from close to home had visited there already.

I live in next-door Aurora, #Illinois. Mayor Wehrli is naive to believe that #TheBears were ever serious about going to #Naperville instead of #ArlingtonHeights. The team's talks with him have always been an obvious negotiation tactic for a better offer from Arlington Heights.

Naperville is a lovely city, with lots of things to be proud of. But it doesn't offer the existing open lands *combined* with existing #traffic and other #UrbanInfrastructure that Arlington has to offer. Arlington has an existing large sports facility, which is abandoned and waiting for the team to move in, with roads and restaurants already right there. Naperville has none of that.

#TheBears have long made it known they hope to move to that racetrack and take over that space. They just want huge tax breaks and offers of city funding to rebuild, which Arlington has so far been unwilling to give them.
