What would you put in the U.S. Cellular Center’s time capsule?
  1. A $16,000,000,000,000.00 IOU.

  2. 9 things. The Mayor and the City Council.

  3. How about a land line telephone with a handset that connects via a cord?

  4. A copy of our Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
    A copy of an Ad placed that day for the Sale of the place.
    A note of apology for the unending tax burden to private citizens and for their property tax increases to keep the ship afloat.
    A note to the West Siders thanking them for sacrificing their neighborhoods to keep the Center high and dry, well… protected anyway.

  5. Why waste the time, they must not have anything else going on if the city and the gazette are wasting time on something like this.
