Protest

No Kings protest on March 28. Find a march near you and plan to attend. 

Stand up and let your voice be heard. You can't be silent anymore.

 If nothing else, at least contact your congressmen/women and your senators and let them know what they need to do to serve their constituents.

St Patrick's Day early

Went downtown today for a lecture at the Art Institute. Missed the St Patrick's Day parade but got to see it's aftermath, all the drunk young people in the streets and all the empty booze containers. The river was very green. And, lucky us, it began to snow as we were walking around.

 

New Book Store

We just got a new bookstore in the neighborhood. I went over for the grand opening of Barnes and Noble.

A lot of people showed up for the ribbon cutting.

I'm just hoping it doesn't put any of our 4 independently owned bookstores out of business.

 

Rev Jesse Jackson

Went to Jesse Jackson's visitation last night. There was no line at that time so we got through security quickly and headed in to the auditorium at PUSH. A very good gospel group was singing as we filed past the casket. It was sad. They only had a few rows of seats open and they were all filled so we couldn't stay long. 

The worst part (in my opinion) were the two merch stands on the way out, where you could buy Jesse Jackson t-shirts, hoodies and bucket hats. I guess people are going to try to make money one way or another.
