  1. What NYC had: an hour of fireworks from 6 barges over 1.5 miles of the Hudson http://tinyurl.com/lku5uk Chicago? 15 minutes & gang violence.
  2. @urbanophile They asked me which order to do the salt, tequila, and lime. I used to teach Mexican newcomers English. I know that order well.
  3. @urbanophile Hey mine too. Except tonight. Too foggy, not as impressive as last year. Though the tequila shot my neighbors handed me helped.
  4. @Anthelonious OMG. That's funny. Sad. And funny.
  5. I love it when Mary Schmich riffs on the weather. http://tinyurl.com/ln2sh3
  6. Memo to USO: Never a good idea to poop on your brand to drum up dollars.
  7. Bad PR: USO denigrates heartfelt past with Bob Hope to drum up $$$. We KNOW you're sending other acts, he's dead. http://tinyurl.com/ljvtqw
  8. Ugh. Favorite sneaks just died and all out of funds for Akira. Ugh. DSW here I come...
  9. RT @mklingo: @chicagocarless It was all over. Whole bunch of cops took of on quads north on LSD. A lot over by LaSalle St. Station too
  10. @designslinger geez!
  11. RT @designslinger: @chicagocarless - bike police moved to BF, followed by police cars, police ATVs, etc.....
  12. RT @designslinger: @chicagocarless - just following first fireworks, the first gunshots, the bike police said aloud, "That was a gunshot!"
  13. RT @designslinger: @chicagocarless - definite gunfire - we were positioned on LSDr, so of BF - sitting next to 10 bike police
  14. Can anyone confirm? Any tales of being near gang violence last night at the fireworks, especially along southern Grant Park?
  15. (Shooting was within Taste grounds, according to same blog.)
  16. SecondCityCop also says that's why Chicago fireworks started early: ongoing wave of gang violence along Roosevelt, Michigan, Buck. Fountain.
  17. SecondCityCop indie CPD blog says MANY gang fights & a SHOOTING at fireworks that city won't let media report on http://tinyurl.com/m48m33
  18. @alissas Now write that all down, secure in the knowledge that strangers reading this aren't likely going to remember to do it next year!
  19. @alissas Got right back up, leisurely strolled right back out down the riverwalk. Don't hate us :-)
  20. @alissas We strolled down riverwalk, waded south through people on grass, sat down, fireworks started 5 minutes later right in front of us.
