Mayor's Office

Mayor Rahm Emanuel and U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) presented the new international Terminal 5 at O’Hare Airport on Friday after the completion of a $26 million overhaul.

The new terminal features 24 retailers and restaurants, 11 of which are Chicago-based, according to a mayoral press release. Over 400 fulltime jobs are expected to be created at the establishments, which include Rick Bayless’ Tortas Frontera, The Goddess & Grocer and “a wide variety of culinary options” from Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel pushed Thursday for more military schools in Chicago, even as Logan Square community members fight against turning a middle school into a military academy. Emanuel said that the armed forces could add four academies to its current offering of six city high schools and, “It still wouldn’t be scratching the itch.”
