The "Day Before" at Grant Park

Jim and I took a walk in Grant Park to see the set up for the Obama Rally.  It was a beautiful day ... over 70 F on November 3 in Chicago !!

This is the first mobile unit we saw:

Turns out that mobile unit was from Homeland Security in DuPage County (a neighboring county).

We kept walking and this is what we saw: lots of satellite trucks, random people doing what we were doing, woman in Obama T-shirt, reporters from who knows where, and a tiny glimpse of the tents from as close as we could get.

We also saw some beautiful views of the Chicago skyline.  You will see some of these same views lit up at night on CNN on Election (Victory!) Night.
