FROM SECOND CITY COP
Travel Advisory
The American Society of Clinical Oncology has to be having second thoughts about their ten-year deal to come to McCormick Place.
PAWS canceled its upcoming weekend event due to "safety concerns from unpredictable crowds and weather conditions" although the City claims PAWS applied for a permit too late. We've never seen a late permit that couldn't be greased through in this town though - witness all the building permits pulled months, even years later (with a fine attached) for all sorts of projects.
Now, the Illinois State Rifle Association has issued a "travel advisory" for any members headed to Chicago:

Now, the Illinois State Rifle Association has issued a "travel advisory" for any members headed to Chicago:
- The ISRA is warning its members to think twice about selecting Chicago as a vacation destination this summer. This warning was issued in response to a recent dramatic upswing in violent crime in the windy city. Most notably is a spate of so-called “flash mob” attacks where as many as two dozen young men ambush and savagely beat their victims before robbing them of their valuables. One recent flash mob victim was a 68 year-old man.
The bulk of the flash mob attacks have taken place on Chicago’s near north side and Gold Coast areas to include North Avenue Beach and the Magnificent Mile. The attack locations are within the general vicinity of tourist attractions including Navy Pier, Lincoln Park Zoo, and Millennium Park.
We're afraid this is going to get worse before it gets any better. Much worse.
