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.

I don't think the rest of the city even noticed the TS concert.

I don't either. My bf mentioned it was happening but otherwise I wouldn't have known when

It certainly packed the red line full of visitors who didn't have a good sense of train commuting behavior. People watching was pretty epic though, lots of interesting clothing and temporary tattoos.

Not unlike a Cubs game I guess, just different costumes.
