Something in the air

I should have been paying more attention to this story:

Attorneys for the plaintiffs in a class-action lawsuit against the owners of the former Clark Oil refinery in Blue Island have been given permission to appeal a Cook County judge's decision to vacate a $120 million judgment they won against the company.

I grew up about two blocks from that refinery. When it blew up on occasion, our windows would break. Insane. I knew the place had closed down, but I didn't know there was litigation. (My grandma used to give me the skinny on the town gossip, after we moved. But she's since moved further away from the city.) I'm definitely going to keep an eye on this one.
