208 S. LaSalle a landmark? Maybe, but it sorely needs a renovation. Right now, it looks and smells terrible.
$40 million is cheap in comparison for what the new CME Group will bring to the city. Not as much as the NYSE does for NY, but thousands of peripheral jobs will be retained/created by this merger, and not only for high end traders. Or, maybe Obama can finance 34/40th of it!
