Reps from Hard Rock Cafe were at the Ilitch/HRC press conference. It was authorized by HRC.
Second City was a cancellation of a franchise contract by Ilitch, not a move by Second City.
llitch left the Masonic Temple The Masons wanted him to stay -- as they weren't quite out of the woods. It was tough for the Masons to survive for a while, but Jack White's tax bill help, lower natural gas prices [[their single biggest expense), and resurgent wedding & corporate business pulled them through some dark financial times.
I have no contacts with Cheli's, so I don't know whether your impolite accusations are fair.
Ilitch's actions you cited wouldn't have been mine. But he made them. And he's still doing fine in spite of disagreeing with me and you.
They may have been bad moves, but AFAIK, he handled them with class and politely. You might learn some manners and judgement from him.
