<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Location, location and location are said to be the three factors that count when it comes to real estate. But somehow, that’s never seemed to apply to the Gary/Chicago Airport.
Though it’s just a 35-to-40-minute drive from the Loop—no longer than the trip to O’Hare International or Midway airports, and much shorter than the hour-or-longer drive to far south suburban Peotone—the Indiana facility gets as much respect as Rodney Dangerfield. </font>

I think I've stated this before, but having driven by and around the Gary airport many times, I just don't see how any expansion could occur.
edited to add: I would like to see Gary before Peotone w/all the cronies get approved. Although from a personal standpoint I would never use it being only 1 mile from ORD.
