Kingfisher Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 I'm not a hockey fan, but you gotta hand it to these guy's for a job well done... Today is the Blackhawk's Rally in Chicago... Unbelieveable... So much confetti you could hardly see the players... Today's parade has the largest turnout of spectators I have seen in my 50 years in this area... Well, I can't watch my Soap's so I will go back to the rally, think the players are getting ready to talk... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Not a hockey fan either, but I live in Chicago a couple of blocks from the intersection of Rush and Division (Chicagoans will know what that means!) and right after they won on Wednesday night, I was startled out of my chair by the sudden onslaught of horns, screeches, fireworks, and, well, maybe a little gunfire a little to the west, that went on until 3 a.m.! Work just 2 blocks from today's rally and there are people still streaming by, on their way home. Or somewhere. Pretty happy over here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a girfriend in the 60's that lived at Wells and Eugene "Old Town"... Remember the old Piper's Alley with the pizza joint at the end of it... Some really good pan pizzas... I'm a little farther north, Waukegan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Yep, the Gold Coast! Wells is one street west of me and the (newish) "Old Town" sign is right there at Wells & Division . . . pretty much still party central! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
