Motorola Mobility headquarters moves back home to Chicago

10

Motorola Mobility has announced it would be moving its headquarters back into the heart of downtown Chicago. After enjoying a lengthy stint in Libertyville, IL, this move will help the city of Chicago in restoring economic growth. They’ll be setting up shop in the Merchandise Mart building.

Once complete they’ll be the biggest company inhabiting the place with four floors and the rooftop at their disposal. It’s great that Motorola has decided to contribute to the efforts of economic growth in this manner, though we’re not sure a move will help them get over a possible revelation that Google may have only wanted them for their patents.

The "Google Phone" sounded too awesome to pass up, so I bought a G1. The rest is history. And yes, I know my name isn't Wilson.

  1. Some how Obummer will claim this was his doing.

    1. You are an @sshat. This thread has nothing to do with politics, and you hate the current president sooo much that you have to turn it into nonsense.

      1. Agreed. I don’t like Obama much but that doesn’t mean that I need to turn a perfectly normal article into a political argument. This is a tech website and not a political website so shut up about politics!

  2. Terrible news… I live in Libertyville, and this just chaps my ass!

    1. You have assless chaps? What?

  3. It’s going to take a lot more than that to restore economic growth. 3 people dead, and 23 more shot last weekend.

  4. Dude, you should head on out of here and get your ass over to Huffington Post for that kind of commentary.

  5. What Chicago needs is to support the right of the people to carry firearms. IL is the only State without some form of lawful carry for it’s citizens. But the punks don’t care.

    1. I live in Chicago, and I’m glad to see Motorola return. We don’t need to be walking down the streets with guns strapped to our sides. I feel comfortable here, and we’ll leave that gun totin’ nonsense to you hillbillies.

  6. Chicago is a great city and I’m super pumped. Chicago has a lot of potential to make it big with the tech industry with it’s great neighborhoods (bad ones too, but tech employees don’t live there) and great vibrate downtown. This might be the thing Chicago needed to really begin moving more tech into the city.
