So, how do you make the first day back to work after a long holiday suck even more??? You shut down a bunch of streets downtown and cause a major traffic disruption. And even more awesome than that, the streets are not opening back up for months.
I knew they were going to be shutting down parts of Wacker Dr. and changing Franklin to be a two-way street, but I didn't realize the impact it would have.
My bus ride that used to be a straight shot down Washington to get to work is now detoured to Monroe (a few blocks south). I work north, so that's no good. Looks like I'll be walking to work a lot more now.
But walking was kind of like a maze today... I didn't know which streets I could walk down and what bridge I could cross to get over the river. I'm pretty sure the path I took today will not be open tomorrow because they were still setting up big green fences. I walked right by a sign that said "Sidewalk Closed". I'm guessing tomorrow it really will be closed.
Fun times.
