Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
The organizers of the Chicago Marathon apparently never considered the possibility that someone might actually have to get somewhere in the lakefront area on that Sunday morning. I tried to get from my apartment at Clark and Surf Streets to North Avenue and Wells Streets at 10 a.m. I literally could not get there from here.
Instead of having the Marathon take over city streets, why not lay out the course solely along Lake Shore Drive?
It’s certainly a lot more scenic than, say, Clark Street, and very few (if any) areas of the city would be rendered inaccessible.
