* They saw Rahm Emanuel coming.
* They ran out of furniture to use for Dibs.
* They were offered more for their votes in the suburbs.
* Wanted to be closer to suburban meth labs.

* They knew too much.
* Losing the name Marshall Field’s was the last straw.
* Were no longer feeling particularly welcome in Chicago.
* Wanted to send children to schools that had books.
* Were all part of the federal witness relocation program.
* They ascended to heaven; the rest of us have been Left Behind.
* Bartman.
* The Daley Administration told them to.
