Chicago suburbs. He's not totally eager, he is talking to at least 4 others and only wants to give it to viable businesses by whatever his definition of viable is. I guess the deal has to do with how poorly businesses are doing around here. I've seen that business is starting to recover for the most part but there's still a long road ahead. Why do you think it was beneficial and why has it been a time sink in your experience?
