Chicago HOPE 2023......Here we go.
Meetup- November 4th at the Bean (Cloud gate to you out-of towners), rumor says it might be under a beautification project. If this is infact the case, meet up 300 feet North, in front of the small art museum that is there.
The Time you say- 11 AM, the usual gather, intros, talk shop...wait for stragglers....
12 Noon-We head for the parking garage (you know the one (Feild Harbor Parking).
We are going with one team- lower numbers this year due to scheduling, breaking things (you know who you are 🙂 ) and finances.
We will start off doing a longer Lower Wacker Drive stretch, including what we normally do, reloading , then crossing the river and getting the underdark over there done. we will reload again, then We will proceed top side, covering Michigan and State, hitting the bridge areas and basically all the heavy shopping district.
if we have any leftovers they will be delivered to one of the police stations that are tending to the Migrants that Texas has been sending to Chicago (17000 at last check).
We will regroup at the bean ( or the small art museum) , at 6ish then form a rolling mob scene to the local pizza place we have gone to almost.
every year.
Eat, talk shop, and new stories, get to know both new and old friends.
this will take us until 8 -9 pm... We can break ranks, or wander the city with a few packs for anyone we may have missed.
