I guess, you can run, but you can't hide...

Here is the BS we have to deal with while those a--holes are here. This is copied and pasted from a local police email.

**************************************************************************************


Metra has announced new rules during the NATO weekend. “Metra has just announced special security precautions that will be in effect during next weekend's NATO summit. And though most services will operate, there will be sharp and sometimes inconvenient restrictions.

Only one line will be shut entirely -- that is the Metra Electric District branch on Monday. But there will extensive station closures.



On Saturday and Sunday, May 19 and 20, for instance, trains will not stop at 47th Street, 27th Street, McCormick Place, 18th Street and 11th Street.



All those also will be closed until noon on Monday, as will 111th Street, 107th Street, 103rd Street, 95th Street, 91st Street, 87th Street, 83rd Street, 79th Street, 75th Street and 73rd Street.

Passengers on all lines may be subject to search and/or screening before boarding or while en route, Metra said in a briefing that is still going on.



Riders will be able to carry only one bag, not exceeding 15 inches square and 4 inches deep. Boxes, parcels, luggage, backpacks and bicycles will not be allowed on any train, and cannot be stored at Metra stations.



There's more. Passengers will not be allowed to carry any food or liquids on the trains during the three days, including coffee.



Riders are encouraged to visit Metra's website, metrarail.com, for updates.



Best advice: Show up at your station early. Metra recommends at least 15 minutes prior to departure.”

Man such a beautiful, quiet area and the fed's and paid protesters have to turn it into a circus. Good luck these next few days and hopefully next week it will be a distant memory.
