Stay Home Chicago #2020

On March 20th  Governor Pritzker joined Mayor Lightfoot issuing a statewide stay home order. As a response to the outbreak of the Covid-19, which has swept the nation along with numerous other countries. I honestly can’t recall anything remotely close to this happening in my lifetime. Let alone what would come to be a nationwide shut down of the states.

Despite the order I headed downtown Chicago and to my surprise. The busy, loud, hustle and bussle of Chicago was, silent. Eerily silent. There were no bucket boys, no taxi’s blaring there horn. Even the “Michigan Street Reverend” was missing in action. 

Chicago is a beautiful and very well crafted architectural city. Seeing it empty of people truly made me appreciate it more.
