This week the Office of Emergency Management along with the Chicago Police and Fire Departments held a series of mock drills at Wrigley Field. The drills involved three different scenarios including an a armed gunman running past the metal detectors creating havoc. Another scenario involved gas masks and a chemical attack.

The media was kept outside with little video or photos inside. I work in the neighborhood and am very familiar with the goings on around the ballpark. WGN News interviewed me asking if I felt more comfortable that our government officials are being prepared for the worse. I told them that I was not. It's a sad and disturbing and often terrifying world we live in but we will survive. The Cubs play the Texas Rangers today and I'm going.
