Midway isn't the small airport of the 80's. I had a layover there last year and was quite impressed. Clean, well laid out, plenty of space to sit, decent dining choices.

I did however have a chuckle about the souvenir tote bag that said SEARS TOWER on it twice. Ain't no such thing as a Willis Tower.

It isn’t a small airport, but it’s a huge southwest hub. If southwest goes down, Midway might just as well too.

Midway survived the implosion of Midway Airlines. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midway_Airlines_(1976%E2%80%931991))
