Bridges and roads were closed early Monday to prevent access to downtown Chicago after a night of unrest and looting in the city following an officer-involved shooting.
All bridges along the Chicago River were raised throughout The Loop, according to CBS Chicago.
Chicago's Officer of Emergency Management said on Twitter that streets are closed in the city's Magnificent Mile shopping district as well as Gold Coast and South Loop neighborhoods. The Illinois State Police also blocked some expressway ramps into downtown.

When the riots moved out of Grant Park onto Michigan Avenue, Mayor Daley sent Chicago Cops to block every entrance/exit on the Dan Ryan. Two of my Cousins were in the National Guard and stationed at Michigan & Randolph. They have some stories to tell!
I played that album over and over way back in the day!
Isnt that kind of like a wall?
Yes, tourist and business travel industries will be really impacted. I live an hour east of San Francisco and it has been many years since I have set foot in that forsaken city. I think major gatherings like conventions will think twice about visiting these Dem dumpster cities. The hospitality industry is also in for a reckoning.
Yep! Leaving the hell-hole they created for themselves and are fleeing to nice places they can turn into new hell-holes...
They obviously need some more Social Workers and counselors in Chicongo................

Still holds up great after 4+ decades! If I was on a desert island it would be one of 5 albums I would want.
An A-10 or perhaps a few Apache helicopters or maybe a couple of drones with Hellfire missiles could take the profit right out of that kind of operation.
Too much collateral damage to infrastructure. This would be a job for https://www.militarytimes.com/2020/06/20/photos-show-devastation-unleashed-on-terror-leaders-by-sword-carrying-ninja-bomb/.
As of today it looks like the following with street names instead of states:

Before I left Seattle for my farm in KY, I used to kill time and money by shopping at estate sales in the Seattle area. This was 10-12 years ago - before vinyl became a thing again. I would go on half price Sunday and get boxes of records for around $10 a box. I ended up adding two more copies of this album to the one copy I bought when it first came out.
On a side note, I got a lot of Herb Alpert that way. :) Surprisingly, a good quality herb alpert and the TJB album is going for quite a bit in used record stores now. Weird.
I think that Chicago needs some urban renewal - bring in the Decepticons.
I’m sure it was mostly peaceful.
Looting Apple and Nordstroms,
Chicago is,
Shooting on Wabash,
Chicago is,
Taxation to grind you into the ground,
It’s MYYYY kind of townnn.
