Hey guys, Due to a recent article about bird watching and cruising in the Chicago Tribune, there may be a heightened police presence at this location. Please keep this in mind as it may bring unwanted attention from local citizens and police. Take care of yourselves and each other while you're out there. Keep each other informed, and keep cruisein!
