Yea I mean its only like 4 million or so people here, and I only work in 3 very different neighborhoods.

The Costco was about 1/2 immigrant, Hispanic or otherwise.

But thanks for playing.

Agreed, and obviously I have no idea, but honestly its been crazy here. Its been this way for the last month or so, I've had to do a lot of diverse and budget oriented shopping for my new office. Discount furniture store in a blue collar area to electronics, all have been jammed.

This is a serious question, not a political one, I have a major investment going in this new location, so I'd like to know what I'm in for, so far I haven't seen any major slow downs.

The only businesses who I know have had issues are some restaurants but that seems to have been weather related, we got more snow in Chicago this year than in quite a long time.
