I want Richard M. Daley to stay Mayor forever!Last night, when crazy drivers insisted on navigating Lake Shore Drive -- even though we were in the midst of one of the worst blizzards in history and the street is called Lake Shore Drive because it runs along a turbulent GREAT LAKE -- and fender benders stopped traffic, the Chicago Fire Dept. was ready.
It took them about five hours, but firefighters ON SNOWMOBILES rescued literally thousands of people who were stranded in their vehicles on LSD. More than 100 cars and a pair of accordion CTA buses were eventually evacuated and there were no serious injuries.
Today, Lake Shore Drive is closed as the municipal workers try to get all those vehicles to a city college parking lot. But last night, every one was safe.
Take that, New York City!
And Mr. Mayor, I have no doubt (no matter what you say) that this all rebounds to your credit. Please don't leave us!
On snowmobiles! What a hoot! Glad that the city was prepared. And safe.
