G8 NOT IN CHICAGO!

The G8 Summits will not be held in Chicago as has been announced for the past 6 months, but at Camp David, MD. Now, little is known why, but it has been moved. The NATO summit will still be held in Chicago. One less thing to worry about.

School Closures

Given the state the City will be in during the summits, schools and businesses are considering closing and/or will be closed during the news reported dates for the Summits.

Saint Ignatius school is planning on closing for the summits not due to close proximity, but to prevent any danger to their students of whom they have 1,400, that travel to school. Their prom was moved and they are adjusting the sports games to away games.

Columbia College has already modified their Spring schedule so that students can avoid much of the problems the Summits may cause.

DePaul University will be closing it's Loop Campus. It's not quite that they are worried about protesters, but for the reason that the traffic would be so horrid students and staff may not even be able to make it in.

As we move closer to the Summits, we can expect even more schools to close as well as quite a few businesses.

Return to Reporting

Well readers, I had to take a while off for various personal reasons. An email sent to me was asking if it had anything to do with the blog. That was only a small part of it. But, now that I'm back, only to find that there is quite a bit that happened during my time away. I'll have to Really bear down and get everything together.
