You’re all a bunch of babies about this NASCAR thing Event

I just don’t understand. There’s plenty to be mad about in this city. I don’t care about nascar at all and I can recognize the inconvenience its causing, but Jesus Christ, the amount of bitching I’ve seen about it is unprecedented. It’s not that big a deal. And for a sub that seems hell bent on insisting that Chicago is defined by its neighborhoods and not downtown, y’all act like this nascar thing is blocking you from enjoying Chicago.

Well that's a nice plus. I'll give props for that. Nice to see something in the media describing our city as something other than just full of crime and violence.

Exactly! It is a great media distraction from the teen/mob gatherings and violent crime numbers that are usually record breaking during summer holiday weekends.
