Sorry for the lack of an update, so here's the overview.
Chicago has requested the Shops on the Mag Mile (Magnificent Mile, a shopping district along North Michigan Avenue) hire extra security for their shops and employees to and from work. That'll cost more then what they MAY receive from the estimated profit they will make from the Summits.
Adbusters, a company supposedly behind the Occupy movement (Some of us know the truth) is calling for at least 50,000 protesters to show up for a month, on May 1st, before the Summits to set up tent cities, showers, and kitchens for Occupy Chicago and stay until the end of May. Talk about controlled chaos.
" With a bit of luck, we’ll pull off the biggest multinational occupation of a summit meeting the world has ever seen." Adbusters Tactical Briefing #25
Knowing the Occupy mentality, I wouldn't be surprised if the gathering turns out to be in excess 60,000. And the way they are doing it will cause a bit too much misinterpretation.
The City of Chicago released the new slogan for the Summits, "The Global Crossroads." It was going to be for the Olympics, but, since this will bring us to the "Global Stage" they are using it for this.
