Mmmm.....Fox & Obel.....
Looks like the gourmet grocer Fox & Obel (owned by ex-lawyers, IIRC) may add a South Loop location at the old Trailways station at Wabash and Roosevelt. Yummy. I'm not just jealous of the South Loop, I'm now hungry, too.
Lehman, AIG, and now Merrill? Think there are some busy lawyers?
First Barclay's walks from Lehman -- yet another suitor gone, and liquidationsville of some sort is being predicted. That is unless another angel comes to the table. AIG is looking to restructure itself, too -- they have rejected a private equity infusion and are apparently turning to the Fed . And now we are all reading that B of A and Merrill are looking to merge as well. If Lehman really goes bye-bye, I will miss it. They did a good job on every deal in which I was involved. But the market is what it is, and some say this is the way Bear should have ended too. In this case, though, Lehman's world's end would be with a bang, not a whimper. People are scared . As Matt Heaton put it over on ActiveRain, it is getting surreal . And will this panic the market tomorrow? I guess we'll see what Asia and Europe do tonight. I may have to cancel some meetings for tomorrow or at least keep an eye on the TV or radio. The dirt angle of this is huge, too, in my opinion...
