I seems to be a common occurance, I live high in the sky and see them flying north fairly regularly. I thought they were maybe going to that base thats up north or something.
As I sit here at my own personal booth at the diner of diminished Uptown expectations, I realize that those choppers represent the hopes many of us had for a vibrant mixed use shopping district at Wilson Yard.
Off in the distance......loud......flying away......growing more distan.......t
By the way Army National Guard helicopters out of a unit at Midway do on occasion fly up and down the lakefront.
After seeing the "60 Minutes" piece, Sunday, on the highly successful 'Predator' drones in Iraq..... I have to wonder how well these un-manned aircraft would benefit Uptown.

Oh my god! Black Helecopters. I knew once that commie pinko Obama was elected, we'd have to deal with the dreaded black helecopters.
I just hope my stash of dried food and candles lasts the next three and a half years.
I think they're listening to me right now. Secret mircophones are everywhere.
