NATO Summit Chicago

Living in Chicago this coming weekend is slowly becoming a nightmare to those of us who live there. It seems everyday we hear about a new restriction is travel to downtown and especially where the NATO meeting is to be held at McCormick Place.

Why even try to cover up that recent survey were everyone is saying Chicago residents aren’t worried. Let me tell you…most of us are. Or ask yourself this why has some building downtown have hired armed security guards. Or why scores of buildings are going to be locked up tight, with riot shields over their windows. Or even why they just announced yesterday, many of the transportation stops downtown could be closed without notice. Meanwhile more bus routes than I care to count are being re-routed away from downtown, and the protesters.

Many of us, including myself are going to stay away from this entire mess, and glad of it.
