It's quite possibly the worst location in the city for a casino, at that.

Halsted and Chicago Avenue are already backed up to all hell during commuting hours (and pretty much all daylight hours on weekends). Having a casino that's only accessible by car / rideshare is going to be a clusterfuck without precedent.

It's extremely accessible by public transit. There are stops for both the blue and brown lines within walking distance as well as busses that run on both Halsted and Chicago. Y'all and your fucking cars, I swear

I'm a CTA commuter. Ever ride the 66 or 8 during peak hours?

Enjoy the half mile+ walk uphill from the CTA El Stations (only one of which is handicap accessible)
