Okay, the title is a cliché.
This morning I went down to the Occupy Chicago site on LaSalle St. to see what was going on. One thing I discovered is that protesters aren't, as a group, early risers. When I got there, I'd say there were 15-20 folks there. And they all smoked and had facial hair. Ugh.
But as time went by people started arriving from the suburbs, and the average age of the group increased. There is a march scheduled for 6:30 tonight, I'm told, and last week 5,000 people were there.
I'm told.
Well, I took almost 200 photos in the 4 hours I was down there, and a picture is worth a thousand words, so the next few posts will equal maybe 100,000 words to describe what I saw. The first two posts will just show signs I saw.
Remember: if you want a closer look at the picture, click on it.
I know a poly sci major when I see one. [Above]
The picture above is particularly interesting, I think. The plaque on the building commemorates the fact that "Standard Time" was created on this site.
