The only thing nastier than a free hooker would be one that only costs $140.

Can they still be considered hookers if they don't charge? Aren't those just sluts/whores?

QuoteCHICAGO -- Nothing obstructed the view of Wrigley Field on Monday from a pair of rooftop clubs whose owner has refused to share 17 percent of his profits with the team.

But if Tom Gramatis hasn't paid up by the time the Cubs return home April 15, team officials said obstructions will be installed.

Cubs vice president Mike Lufrano said the team hopes it won't have to do that, but that it's unfair to other rooftop partners to let one rooftop get away without paying.

Gramatis could not be reached for comment.

Four years ago, the Cubs and the rooftop owners struck a deal after an acrimonious dispute that saw the team put up wind screens to obscure their views.

Rooftop owners agreed to pay the Cubs 17 percent of their gross revenues for the next 20 years.

The two clubs in question?

QuoteGramatis could not be reached for comment. If he doesn't pay up, views from two of his rooftop clubs -- at 3617 and 3619 N. Sheffield -- stand to be blocked by dark decorative banners hung from three or four poles positioned a few feet apart in foul territory along the right-field line.

...

He operates three rooftop clubs in the 3600 block of North Sheffield. At one location, he failed to share any of his 2007 profits with the Cubs. At the other two, he's trying to cut a better deal because the buildings are new and cost more than he originally anticipated.

The Cubs have filed a lawsuit that seeks to hold Gramatis to the 2004 profit-sharing agreement or force him to shut down.

But since a ruling in the case could be weeks or months away, they're pursuing what Cubs Chairman Crane Kenney has called "self-help remedies."

This has been going on for months.  It's already in court.

3637 Sheffield is his other building, the one in which the deadbeat is currently in arrears to the Cubs for 2007 proceeds.

Swell. Just fucking swell.

Since the collection of money never started, the contract never went out. Let me see if I can get another rooftop.
Don't read too much into any of it. It's Rozner. He's a fucking idiot.

If there is a genie involved, then they're free hookers.  It's science.

Just pool your money, get one really good hooker and share whilst watching the game on TV in a swank suite downtown. Everybody wins.

Or hook up with Stuart Levine at the Purple Hotel.

That hotel has a heckuva history.

http://www.chicagomag.com/Chicago-Magazine/October-2005/The-Lost-Don/index.php?cp=3&si=2

In December 1982, after four days of deliberations, the jury found Lombardo, Dorfman, Williams, and two others guilty on 11 counts of bribery, fraud, and con-spiracy. A month later, while out on bail awaiting sentencing, Dorfman was shotgunned to death in the parking lot of the Lincolnwood Hyatt Hotel. The mob apparently thought Dorfman was too soft to do his time and might start singing. ABC-TV's Ted Koppel devoted an episode of Nightline to the murder, accompanied by a profile of Lombardo. To this day, the Dorfman slaying remains unsolved.

I still can't believe someone thought it was a good idea to paint a hotel purple and call it the Purple Hotel.

I'm astonished at how Stuart Levine could remain such a functional Illinois political hack, siphoning off so much cash from the state the "clean" way (kickbacks as opposed to good old-fashioned embezzlement), while raising money for BOTH major party candidates for Gov. in 2002. You'd think you wouldn't be able to keep everything straight after a couple stiff drinks, let alone after emptying the inventory of meth from Alsip and ketamine from Arlington Park several times a week.
