Wonder how long it will take to find another business or businesses to occupy that place.

She is ruining the place for business... who is really making $$$$ from those deals she's ramming through? When she chases all of the business' out of Oak Forest it will be the homeowners who have to make up the diffrence.

ISP Location: South Holland, IL	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #3 Jun 1, 2008 I always try to 'Shop Oak Forest', but when I need to make a major purchase, I have to 'shop out of Oak Forest'. I can't afford higher real estate taxes. I'm a widow with one child. I'm lucky if I can save a few $$$ at the end of each month. Money for gas is eating into my grocery bill.(pun intended) I hope we get something in there soon!
ProChat Oak Forest, IL	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #4 Jul 3, 2008 Yes, O.F. needs more business, we have our fill of gas station and bars and fast food joints.It would be wonderful if we could get a large company that would come and stay for 30 - 40 plus years, but the way the economy is these days, that's nothing more than a pipe dream now. I think most company's are looking for tax breaks and not sure Oak Forest can offer them what they want. We need to keep our fingers crossed and pray who ever is elected as president can do something for the American people.

It makes sense to me. In today's economy, you've got to go where you'll get more exposure to the customers of car dealers.
