Finkl closed up their northside plant and moved to the southside. The
whole site has been bulldozed flat and sold to a developer.

Back in the late 80's, they turned the area into a "Planned Manufacturing
District" to protect it from residential encroachment, but no sooner did
they do that, than they started cutting out chunks for retail shopping
centers.

For nearly thirty years they have been chomping at the bit to slap housing
on that area, looks like they'll finally get their wish.

WGN news had a report about finkl, seems thier south side neighbors
don't like them. The people near the plant are bitching about noise,
smells, vibration and broken promises.

It's a ****ing steel mill that makes huge forgings. Not sure what they
were expecting.

I'm glad they're still around though.
