About 10 years ago I watched a movie called "The 60s". A part of the movie showed the 1968 Democratic Convention and the background song was "Chicago" by Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. Yesterday while I was walking to and from work, that song was playing in my head..."won't you please come to Chicago......we can change the world". It's amazing how many people have come to Chicago to do just that.
Like many businesses, my office decided to close for today and Monday. Therefore unfortunately I have no photos to share, however I have been keeping up with the NATO happenings via the news. I have a friend who also works in Chicago and her office was open today. She said that Michigan Ave. had been closed due to protests. I saw on the news that protesters swarmed the Michigan Avenue bridge. The same bridge I walked down just yesterday. Some of the protesters even ripped down a NATO banner that hung on the bridge. The news commented about how even though many streets were filled with protesters, many Chicagoans had gotten "out of dodge".
