I'm posting this today with sadness as on Monday they are to begin tearing down Arlington Park Racetrack. This was the first racetrack I ever went to when I was 14 with my folks and my brother - they are all gone now - so to see the track go is difficult. My late husband and 2 other couples we worked with for years used to have lunch and a day at the races there every summer after we retired. The property has been sold to the Chicago Bears who may build a new football stadium there - it is a very large property in Arlington Heights IL. We'll see if that stadium ever gets built - meanwhile this is the soaring grandstand one last time!
