October 31, 200520 yr That Picasso picture f***ing rox. We own this f***ing town! Ozzie, talk to Ditka, and he can advise you on how to rule Chicago. I still can't believe this s*** happened.
October 31, 200520 yr QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Oct 31, 2005 -> 10:53 AM) Taste of Chicago fireworks usually bring in about a million people, as does the air and water show. Just an observation...there are WAYYYYY more people downtown on July 3rd than there was last friday...not even close. The reason the numbers are skewed is because that 1.75 million number was the total number of people who watched the parade and caravan. So they are including all the people on the side of road in bridgeport, etc. The turn out was amazing but there is no way it even compares with how many people are downtown on the 3rd of July.

Yeah, that's what I kinda thought too. Plus the crowd for the fireworks is spread out over a larger area, pretty much the entire lakefront downtown and it's still almost impossible to move.

And IMO the 1 million number for the fireworks is way low as well.
November 1, 200520 yr Im glad you guys liked the PIcasso shot. Heres a higher res version (for the wallpaper) , and a couple of different shots. Sorry if they are too big, I dont have time to re-size. I really wanted to get one with the flag completely extended, but couldnt time it right: And a couple of my fellow photoseekers
November 4, 200520 yr Here are some of the pictures from the parade I said I would post. I have a bunch more and some video, but they're not that great...so I won't overload this thread with all of them!
