ok, so what's the word on skating Chicago these days? i'll be up there in a few weeks and would love to just cruise around, see/skate the Loop, etc...but i remember hearing something about shit being on lockdown recently or something. i'd rather not have to try to post bail so i can make my flight home, you know? if you stick to the "don't stay in one place more than five minutes" style, is it cruise-able? is that where the good shit is, or should i be searching elsewhere? are the cops on the kick out/ticket tip or more of the board confiscation/arrest thing?
