Street closings for NATO Summit

Hi everyone. Another EveryBlock neighbor recently shared this link and I just thought I'd pass it along:

http://www.chicagonato.org/secret-service--road-closures-announced-for-nato-summit-press_release-15.php

So is anyone making any changes to their daily routine to account for the Summit next week? Have you heard anything else about preparations the city is asking residents/workers to take?

    If you thought Venetian Night was bad for traffic, nothing will beat NATO TRAFFIC MADNESS! The cynic in me wonders how many of these closures don't relate to security, but instead are designed to limit protesters' access to getting their message across.
    We were thinking of heading to the kite festival in Lincoln Park on the 19th ... not too sure if that's a good idea now. I'll have to see if my better half can work from home on the 21st, too.
    Also, Becca, congrats on your pomotion!

Citywide staff pick

From Is it only me? Confusion on NATO and staying home in the Loop during the Summit:

"We would appreciate anyone with some sound advice to please share what they might know as far as safely staying in condo at Madison & State. We were planning to stock up on food and stay in. Does this sound okay to do? Sarcasm & judgement not welcome please."
