Congratulations, Angela! It was a great article, required reading for all Rogers Park residents, and an important report card on the Gateway project, including evaluations of the project in terms of property tax generation and job creation. The article was the result of tons of hard work. I wish neighborhood reporters had more time and resources for this kind of investigative reporting.
Here's a link to a (somewhat massive, sorry) PDF scan of the article:

"[City of Chicago] Planning Department figures on job creation show a 20% shortfall in securing full-time jobs, and a 40% shortfall in part-time hiring."
" ... the shopping center remains 45% vacant ... "
