Patrick Swayze recently struck a pose not found in dance class on the set of his new television show "The Beast" in Chicago. Defying earlier reports by People magazine and others that he had terminal pancreatic cancer, Swayze put that baby in a corner with chemo sessions at Stanford and is set to star in the '09 series as a FBI agent whose new partner has a hidden agenda.

Is Chicago the new Vancouver in this economic climate?

It doesn't hurt that the city just stood in for Gotham, either.
