This wont end well...
"CHICAGO --
The Chicago Cultural Mile Association says it's organizing what it calls the first-of-its-kind, all-day Chicago Halloween festival that'll end with the nighttime parade. The inaugural event is scheduled for October 24...."Rahm and the powers that be just like to court trouble. First, last year's idiotic "commemoration" of the anniversary of the Chicago Fire. A complete fiasco with a performance art mock up of a burning house built on a barge in the river. That ironically, wouldn't catch fire. A waste of hundreds of thousands of dollars. (Yes, let's celebrate the death of hundreds).
The problem here is that Rahm and TPTB are trying to cater to the SWPL* crowd, but the city is majority minority. Suburbanites are not going to travel downtown to subject little Justin and Emma to being culturally enriched by vibrant diversity.
Add to that the current climate of the CPD having to make do with less and you have a recipe for disaster. Let's not forget the Detroit tradition of "Devil's Night".
Oh yeah, isn't there already a parade for spooks? I believe it's next Saturday...
