Chicago's non-essential businesses will be able to stay open a little longer as the city takes on new mitigations from the state, including the suspension of indoor dining and bar service.

Beginning Friday, all non-essential businesses will need to close to the public from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. Previous restrictions had forced businesses to close at 10 p.m.

"This will allow restaurants and bars that can no longer offer indoor service an extra hour of outdoor operations each evening," Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot's office said in a release.

And what if you work the night shift and choose to dine at a 24 hour restaurant or need to go to the drive thru????

Years ago I used to work in Chicago near the lake and sometime the winds got so strong they strung ropes along the buildings for people to hang onto if needed. They don’t call it the Windy City for nuthin’.
