Hey, Chicago! Dallas Will Drink Your Milk Convention. Drink It Up! Yeah, That's Right.

From the sound of this piece out of Chicago, not to mention the comments posted along with it, residents of the Windy City are mighty unhappy with the Washington, D.C.-based International Dairy Foods Association, which has announced that, sorry, but it's bringing its 2010 International Dairy Show to Dallas.
