You make a very good point about central-city congestion. Here in Chicago we're seeing something of a "flight to the exurbs" with installations like Rochelle's Global III, which is fifty-some miles west of Aurora, and about 80 from downtown Chicago. <br /> <br />Chicago has some excellent medium-sized yards that aren't as central to the city's economy as they used to be. But the congestion of getting around our belts (or even as far out as the Fox River Valley, the extent of urbanization until recently) means that a good deal more money will have to be spent. <br /> <br />Alas, it isn't "sexy" but it will have to be done!
