Chicago: for those of us in Loop theatres, please note that the city has blocked at least some of the Loop bridges to vehicular & pedestrian traffic at the moment. While not fully the "fortress Chicago" level of using the river as a moat, this does largely create a logjam of traffic unable to leave.

Chicago: A reminder for those working shows in the Loop or who pass through the Loop that this Saturday is the No Kings protest. The official location is Butler Field in Grant Park (the original band shell field, just north of the fountain, directly east of the Art Institute) starting at noon.
